“…Similar to Au nanoparticles, Rh nanoparticles supported on Al 2 O 3 substrates have recently been reported to activate the critical intermediate CHO by injecting hot electrons into the antibonding orbital . The (plasmonic metal)/(non‐semiconductor) systems that have been explored include MOF‐derived Fe@SiO 2 , Ag/Re n /MOF, Ni/Al 2 O 3 , and Pd 90 Au 10 /Al 2 O 3 …”

The photochemical production of fuels using sunlight is an innovative way for meeting the quickly increasing energy demands. One of the largest challenges is to develop high-performance photocatalysts that can meet the requirements of practical applications. Owing to their intriguing localized surface plasmon resonances, noble metal nanoparticles and nanostructures show a great potential for enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency and thereby have attracted rapidly growing interest recently. Here, for the first time, the latest achievements in the utilization of plasmons in driving CO reduction and N fixation into high-value products are comprehensively described. The involved plasmonic enhancement mechanisms in the two types of reactions are fully illustrated. A particular emphasis is given to the outlook on the direction and prospects for future work in this topic.

“…With the enormous consumption of fossil fuels, the greenhouse effect and ecological unbalance have seriously hindered the sustainable development of society. In the meantime, the fossil resource dilemma has also turned into a problem that must be confronted by industrial development . The solar‐light‐driven conversion of CO 2 into renewable fuels is considered as a potentially desirable “green” strategy, which not only alleviates the greenhouse effect but also supplies value‐added chemical fuels.…”

Thin layer fabrication and crystal facet engineering favor the prompt charge transfer from bulk to the surface of a material and spatial charge separation among different facets, tremendously benefitting photocatalytic activity. However, the thickness and surface facet composition are considered as two entwined characteristics of layered materials with well-defined and tunable shapes, which possess great promise to achieve the simultaneous manipulation of charge transfer and spatial separation. Herein, it is demonstrated that one solution for the aforementioned issue by controllably regulating the surface {010}/{100} facet junctions of a layered thickness-tunable bismuth-based material, BiOIO 3 . The attenuation in thickness of BiOIO 3 nanoplates shortens the diffusion pathway of charge carriers, and more importantly the tuning of nanolayer thickness renders the ratio variation of the top {010} facet to the lateral {100}facet, which dominates the spatial separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. As a result, the highest CO evolution rate from CO 2 reduction over BiOIO 3 nanoplates with the optimal thickness and ratio of exposed facets reaches 5.42 µmol g −1 h −1 , over 300% that of the bulk counterpart (1.77 µmol g −1 h −1 ). This work paves a new way for governing charge movement behaviors on the basis of the synergistic engineering of layer structure and exposing facets.

With the depletion of crude oil and especially the growing demand for lower olefins, the FTO process is a promising alternative for the petroleum route. In this work, a photo-driven FTO process was realized over Fe 5 C 2 catalyst under photoirradiation. The unique slight oxygen-modulated Fe 5 C 2 structure formed in situ under the photo-irradiation condition, resulting in high selectivity to olefins, making it an excellent catalyst in photo-driven FTO reaction. SUMMARYWith the depletion of crude oil and especially the growing demand for lower olefins, the direct conversion of syngas into lower olefins via the Fischer-Tropsch to olefins (FTO) process is a promising alternative for the petroleum route. A photo-driven FTO process can dramatically change the product selectivity over Fe 5 C 2 catalyst, leading to an olefin/paraffin ratio of 10.9 with CO conversion >49%. The selectivity toward CO 2 was as low as 18.9%, ensuring a high carbon resource utilization efficiency, and the catalyst showed good stability. Under the photo-irradiation condition, the surface of the Fe 5 C 2 catalyst was spontaneously decorated by O atoms formed in situ, resulting in a high selectivity to olefins, which makes it an excellent catalyst for photo-driven FTO reaction.
