“…The oxidation half reaction is performed by h + on Nb 3 O 8 − while the Cu oxide clusters performs the CO 2 reduction reaction. Cu 2 O acts as co‐catalysts in Cu 2 O@Zn−Cr layered double hydroxides, improving charge separation and providing active sites for CO 2 reduction . The effect of additives on the photocatalytic activity but most importantly on the selectivity (CO 2 reduction vs H 2 evolution) was also demonstrated in this study (Figure ).…”

Problems derived from climate change dictate the reestablishment of our prospective in energy production. In this direction, converting solar energy through photocatalysis into suitable fuels such as hydrogen and carbon‐based fuels by water splitting and CO2 reduction, respectively, has been established as a promising approach. Currently, the main concern in this field is the development of cost‐effective and efficient photocatalysts. Among the different systems studied, Cu‐based photocatalysts are considered attractive candidates for both applications due to their relative low‐cost, the natural abundance of the constituents and their promising reactivity. In this review, the current progress in the field of Cu‐based photoactive materials for both H2 production and CO2 reduction will be discussed. Finally, an outlook on the challenges and future research directions is given.

“…The pristine ZnCr‐LDH nanosheets (ZnCr‐0h) showed two distinct absorption peaks at 410 and 570 nm, which were readily assigned to the 4 A 2g → 4 T 1g (F) and 4 A 2g → 4 T 2g (F) d–d transitions of Cr 3+ ions. [ 18 ] For the etched ZnCr‐LDH nanosheets, an obvious redshift in the positions of these signals occurred, similar to the redshift seen for defect‐rich TiO 2 , [ 19 ] which suggests the creation of abundant Vo in the etched ZnCr‐LDH nanosheets. [ 5a,20 ] Quantitative energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) analysis revealed that that etched ZnCr‐LDH nanosheets possessed less zinc than the pristine ZnCr‐LDH nanosheets (Figure S3, Supporting Information), which was further affirmed through inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer measurements (Table S1, Supporting Information).…”

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets show good activity in a wide range of photoreactions, with this activity being generally attributable to an abundance of surface oxygen vacancies or coordinatively unsaturated metal cations in the nanosheets which serve as active sites for reactant adsorption and activation. Recently, LDH nanosheets have been shown to be very effective for photocatalytic N2 reduction to NH3 using water as the reducing agent. Herein, it is demonstrated that a simple pretreatment of ZnCr‐LDH, ZnAl‐LDH, and NiAl‐LDH nanosheets with aqueous NaOH can greatly enhance the concentration of oxygen vacancies and low coordination metal centers in the nanosheets, thus significantly enhancing their photocatalytic activity for N2 reduction to NH3 under UV–vis irradiation (without the need for added sacrificial agents or cocatalysts). The facile alkali etching strategy introduced here is expected to be widely adopted in the future development of high‐performance LDH photocatalysts for ammonia production and other challenging chemical transformations (e.g., CO2 reduction and water splitting).
