Two‐Dimensional Perovskites for Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction

Abstract The photocatalytic conversion of Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into valuable chemicals is one of the most promising approaches to addressing the CO 2 emission problem. However, several issues still need to be resolved to increase the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions. Perovskites possess superior light absorption capacity, tunable band gaps, high defect tolerance, and diverse dimensionality. Among them, two‐dimensional (2D) perovskites are more stable under photocatalytic conditions and have exciting excitonic characteristics compared to three‐dimensional (3D) perovskites. 2D perovskites have unique physical and chemical properties, such as high stability, polaron formation, quantum well structures, and…
