Abstract
Abstract Acetaldehyde (CH 3 CHO) is of great industrial importance and serves as a key intermediate in various organic transformations. Photocatalytic production of acetaldehyde from CO 2 represents a sustainable route compared to conventional oxidation processes. However, current photocatalytic systems often face challenges, including limited product selectivity and dependence on sacrificial reagents. Here, we present a Cd 0.6 Zn 0.4 S (CZS) photocatalyst co‐modified with sulfur vacancies and atomically dispersed Cu (Cu/CZS−Vs) for the efficient conversion of CO 2 to acetaldehyde. Charge density analysis reveals that sulfur vacancies induce charge accumulation around the adjacent metal atoms, creating active…
