Continuous Flow Photothermal Catalytic CO 2 Reduction: Materials, Mechanisms, and System Design

Indexed incrossref

Abstract

Continuous flow photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction technology, which integrates synergistic photo and thermal energy utilization, offers an innovative pathway to address global energy and environmental challenges. This comprehensive review examines recent advancements in material design, reaction mechanisms, and reactor engineering while highlighting how continuous flow systems enhance photothermal CO2 reduction performance. First of all, we elucidate the intrinsic relationships among light absorption, thermal conversion, and charge carrier separation efficiency through microstructural engineering of photothermal materials. The critical role of interface engineering in optimizing photothermal synergy is…
