“…Some narrow bandgap semiconductors have been demonstrated to enable CO 2 reduction under both UV and visible light irradiation. Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ), a metal‐free polymeric graphitic compound, serves as a visible light responsive (bandgap 2.7 eV), readily obtained and low‐cost semiconductor catalyst . The solar light utilization fraction of g‐C 3 N 4 is still low and photogenerated electron–hole pairs are prone to recombine quickly.…”

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.

“…A strong electric field is also expected to locally increase the temperature and may polarize reagents increasing their adsorption probability and stabilizing reaction intermediates. 9 The photocatalytic activity of Au/g-C 3 N 4 (alone or as an alloy with Pd or Ag) has previously been studied for multiple reactions such as the reduction of CO 2 , 17,18 oxidation of CO and of benzyl alcohol 19 as well as decomposition of organic molecules. [20][21][22][23][24] Moreover, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was investigated over Au/g-C 3 N 4 25 and Ag-Au alloys synthesized via galvanic exchange 26 among other systems.…”

“…Li et al. deposited Au PNPs on graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) and used this composite for CO 2 photoreduction . As the LSPR effect of Au NPs promoted hot‐electron generation and visible‐light absorption, Au–g‐C 3 N 4 exhibited a high production rate of CH 4, which was more than nine times that of pure g‐C 3 N 4 .…”

Plasmonic photocatalysis is among the most efficient processes for the photoreduction of CO2 into valuable fuels. The formation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), energy transfer, and surface reaction are the significant steps in this process. LSPR plays an essential role in the performance of plasmonic photocatalysts as it promotes an excellent, light absorption over a broad wavelength range while simultaneously facilitating an efficient energy transfer to semiconductors. The LSPR transfers energy to a semiconductor through various mechanisms, which have both advantages and disadvantages. This work points out four critical features for plasmonic photocatalyst design, that is, plasmonic materials, size, shape of plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs), and the contact between PNPs and semiconductor. Various developed plasmonic photocatalysts, as well as their photocatalytic performance in CO2 photoreduction, are reviewed and discussed. Finally, perspectives of advanced architectures and structural engineering for plasmonic photocatalyst design are put forward with high expectations to achieve an efficient CO2 photoreduction shortly.
