MXenes as co-catalysts for the solar-driven photocatalytic reduction of CO₂

Abstract

To mimick the natural photosynthesis, semiconductor materials enable to photocatalyze carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable solar fuels with the aided of visible-light, which is significant to address the environment and...

A 3D Hierarchical Ti3C2Tx/TiO2 Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

“…The synthetic process of 3D hierarchical Ti 3 C 2 T x is shown in Figure 1. Due to the abundant terminated −O/−OH of Ti 3 C 2 T x , Ti 3 C 2 T X nanosheets can be easily jointed by the hydroxyl groups of L(+)‐ascorbic acid [37–39] . The synthetic process of the TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x is illustrated in the Figure S1.…”

A Critical Review on Black Phosphorus‐Based Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction Application

“…There are many factors affecting the performance of the BPbased materials photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction, which was included morphology, bandgap, band position, and so on. [230] Some key influence factors which can significantly affect the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity of BP-based materials were discussed as follows.…”
