This review article provides an overview of recent advancements in utilizing near-infrared (NIR) light for photocatalysis, with a particular focus on the emerging field of two-photon excitation NIR photocatalysis. The article highlights the advantages of utilizing NIR light and two-photon excitation compared to UV-visible irradiation and one-photon excitation.
Efficient utilization of sunlight in photocatalysis is widely recognized as a promising solution for addressing the growing energy demand and environmental issues resulting from fossil fuel consumption. Recently, there have been significant developments in various near-infrared (NIR) light-harvesting systems for artificial photosynthesis and photocatalytic environmental remediation. This review provides an overview of the most recent advancements in the utilization of NIR light through the creation of novel nanostructured materials and molecular photosensitizers, as well as modulating strategies to enhance the photocatalytic processes. A special focus is given to the emerging two-photon excitation NIR photocatalysis. The unique features and limitations of different systems are critically evaluated. In particular, it highlights the advantages of utilizing NIR light and two-photon excitation compared to UV-visible irradiation and one-photon excitation. Ongoing challenges and potential solutions for the future exploration of NIR light-responsive materials are also discussed. This review article presents a comprehensive survey of the latest developments in near-infrared (NIR) light harvesting strategies, with a particular focus on the emerging field of two-photon excitation NIR photocatalysis. The emphasis is on the unique benefits offered by NIR light and two-photon excitation when compared to UV-visible irradiation and one-photon excitation.image
