Recent advances in 1D nanostructured catalysts for photothermal and photocatalytic reduction of CO2

Recent advances in CdS heterojunctions: morphology, synthesis, performances and prospects

“…The enhancement of light absorption, combined with rapid charge transfer, endows the 1D nanostructure with efficient photocatalytic ability. [112][113][114] Organic carbon materials, owing to their distinctive physical and optical properties, have been demonstrated to enhance the rapid transfer of photo-generated charge carriers in combination with photocatalysts. They have been widely used in the eld of photocatalytic hydrogen production.…”

Atomic/molecular layer deposition strategies for enhanced CO2 capture, utilisation and storage materials

“…Various strategies have been adopted to improve the performance of photocatalysts, for instance, doping with metals and non-metals, formation of nanostructured materials, construction of heterojunction to form heterostructures and combination with carbon-based materials. [354][355][356][357][358][359] The goal is to synthesize photocatalysts that can absorb a wide spectrum of solar light as well as has a longer lifetime of separated electron and holes, leading to efficient CO 2 photoactivity. In this section, we discuss the role of ALD in depositing metal oxides, metal catalysts or both on photoactive substrates.…”
