Recent Progress in Metal Oxide-Based Photocatalysts for CO₂ Reduction to Solar Fuels: A Review.

ABSTRACT: One of the challenges in developing practical CO₂ photoconversion catalysts is the design of materials with a low cost, high activity and good stability. In this paper, excellent photocatalysts based on TiO₂, WO₃, ZnO, Cu₂O and CeO₂ metal oxide materials, which are cost-effective, long-lasting, and easy to fabricate, are evaluated. The characteristics of the nanohybrid catalysts depend greatly on their architecture and design. Thus, we focus on outstanding materials that offer effective and practical solutions. Strategies to improve CO₂ conversion efficiency are summarized, including heterojunction, ion doping, defects, sensitization and morphology control, which can inspire the future improvement in photochemistry.
