Solar-harvesting lead halide perovskite for artificial photosynthesis

DFT Modeling of CO2 Adsorption and HCOO• Group Conversion in Anatase Au-TiO2-Based Photocatalysis

“…In recent years, inspired by the carbon sequestration by the photosynthesis of green plants, artificial photosynthesis, which utilizes solar energy based on photocatalysts to enable the conversion of CO 2 into methanol, methane, and other hydrocarbon fuels, has become a research hotspot in the field of frontier science and technology. − On the one hand, the increasingly severe environmental problems caused by the greenhouse effect can be partly resolved using the photocatalytic technology. , On the other hand, energy crisis and carbon reduction issues can be effectively alleviated due to the value-added hydrocarbon fuels through catalytic hydrogenation. , Therefore, the emerging photocatalytic technology is of significance to achieve a clean and sustainable future, which fulfills the goal of carbon neutrality…”

Hollow Multishell-Structured TiO2/MAPbI3 Composite Improves Charge Utilization for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…As a promising candidate, methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAPbI 3 ) was first utilized as a photocatalyst for producing H 2 through solar-driven HI splitting by Park et al in 2016, which promotes the research on photocatalytic H 2 generation with halide perovskite-based materials. − However, alleviating charge recombination within MAPbI 3 still remains a great challenge. Aiming to suppress this concern, building a composite structure with abundant heterogeneous interfaces has demonstrated great achievement in efficiently promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers. , Perovskite-based composite materials such as perovskite/metal oxide, perovskite/metal, perovskite/metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), perovskite/sulfides, , Z-scheme heterojunction, and so forth have been constructed to enhance the separation and transmission of photogenerated charge carriers. , For instance, the MAPbI 3 /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites were designed to fast-transfer electrons from MAPbI 3 to rGO and improve the charge utilization …”

Metal Halide Perovskites for Solar Fuel Production and Photoreactions

“…10 Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that MHPs are promising candidates for heterogeneous photocatalyst materials for visible light utilization, and growing attention has been placed on the photocatalytic application of MHPs. 11 Several review papers well introduce the rapid developments in MHP-based photocatalysis in detail according to the types of solar fuel conversion system, 12,13 structural dimensions, 14 material properties, 15 and stability issues 16 of MHPs. Here, we mainly focus on several breakthroughs in MHP-based photocatalysis, rationalizing recent performance trends rather than presenting all experimental results in detail.…”
