“…[9] TheseM HP NCs have attracted ever-increasing attention recently in the photocatalytic field, [10][11][12][13] for applications such as photocatalysis of H 2 evolution, [14] photodegradation of organic pollutants, [15] photocatalysis of CO 2 reduction, [16] and photocatalytic organic synthesis. [17] In the field of the photocatalysiso fC O 2 conversion with MHP NCs-based photocatalysts, continuouse ffortsh ave focused on surface/interface modification [16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and heterojunction engineering [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] to increase the active sites and improve the separatione fficiencyo fp hotogenerated carriers,a chieving ag reat improvementi np hotocatalytic performanceo ver the past few years. However,t he long alkyl-chain capping ligands in conventional MHP NCs will be unfavorable for the CO 2 adsorptiona nd hinder the efficient carriert ransport in MHP NCsbasedh eterojunctions, [26,27] which has not yet been recognized extensively.C onsidering that capping ligandsa re indispensable for the preparation of MHP NCs with good stabilitya nd low surface defect density, the employment of small functional organic molecules as capping ligandsc ould be an ideal solution to maintain colloidals tability andi mprove the photocatalytic CO 2 activity of MHP NCs-based photocatalysts.…”
