The shortage of fossil fuels and the need to find alternative renewable and sustainable fuels for transportation are triggering an increasing interest in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. In this review, we have focused on titanium containing photocatalysts that effect the reduction of CO2 to fuels. The various products that are more generally formed are CH4, CH3OH, CO as well as HCOOH. This review has been organized primarily depending on the type of titanium material used as the photocatalyst. The list includes pure TiO2 as well as metal- and non metal-doped titania, noble metals supported on titania and micro-/mesoporous titanosilicates or porous matrices containing titania clusters. In a general introduction we comment on the limitations of the current approaches and the various possibilities and conditions for performing the irradiation. In a final section, we also give our view on future developments and open issues to be addressed in this field.
