Photo-bioelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction for a circular energy landscape

FeVO4 nanowires for efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction

“…5(a), the specific surface area of the FeVO 4 nanowires was higher than that of the FeVO 4 nanoparticles. [36][37][38] The larger specific surface area of the FeVO 4 nanowires will expose more active sites, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Compared with bulk crystals, the properties of the surface of the material will be much different, and the substantial increase in the specific surface area also means that the coordination unsaturation on the surface of the FeVO 4 nanowires will increase.…”

Photocatalytic Material-Microorganism Hybrid System and Its Application—A Review

“…In recent years, a hybrid system constructed with photocatalytic materials and microorganisms has been significantly able to enhance the utilization efficiency of solar energy by microorganisms. The sustainable conversion of CO 2 into fuel is considered to be an effective method for mitigating climate change and alleviating energy depletion [60][61][62][63][64].…”

Polyoxometalate-based nanostructures for electrocatalytic and photocatalytic CO 2 reduction

“…Photo/electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction offers a promising pathway to reduce the excess atmospheric CO2 levels meanwhile converting CO2 into valuable chemicals, which has been already extensively studied with remarkable achievements within exclusive evaluation methods, reaction equipment and required catalysts. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] (Figure 1) As is well known, the renewable solar energy/electricity manipulated CO2 reduction can be realized at ambient conditions with reduced products including carbon monoxide (CO) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , hydrocarbons 9,19,19,[19][20][21][22][23] (CH4, C2H6, C2H4….) and oxygenates 6,9,[24][25][26][27] (HCOOH, CH3COOH, CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH….)…”
