Recent advances in direct gas-solid-phase photocatalytic conversion of CO2 for porous photocatalysts under different CO2 atmospheres

Yajuan Ma et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is a promising strategy for mitigating global warming and providing green fuels and chemicals. However, current photocatalysts have low adsorption capacity and limited CO2 dissolution, resulting in unsatisfactory conversion rates and selectivity in aqueous solutions. This paper reviews the latest advances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymer-based photocatalysts for gas-solid CO2 conversion. Porous photocatalysts exhibit high efficiency in photocatalysis due to favorable CO2 adsorption and selectivity, even at ultralow CO2 concentrations or in the presence of oxygen. Challenges and future perspectives for developing multifunctional materials with high CO2 adsorption and photocatalytic conversion performances are also discussed.

Implanting CoOx Clusters on Ordered Macroporous ZnO Nanoreactors for Efficient CO2 Photoreduction

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: Despite slow charge-carrier mobility, photocatalysis is still a promising technology for producing green fuels. Designing advanced architectural materials as photocatalysts can enhance the performance of semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems. In this study, hierarchical porous nitrogen and carbon co-doped ZnO structures derived from metal-organic frameworks are developed as nanoreactors with CoOx nanoclusters for CO2-to-CO conversion under visible light. The introduction of hierarchical nanoarchitectures with ordered meso-macroporous channels improves the photocatalytic reduction reactions by enhancing charge carrier mobility, maximizing exposure of active sites, and inhibiting charge carrier recombination. The CoOx nanoclusters in the composite exhibit a high affinity to CO2 molecules and form strong Co-O bonds on the surface, resulting in enhanced photocatalysis performance in terms of high CO yield and long-term stability.
