The photocatalytic technique is crucial for addressing energy and environmental challenges. However, the efficiency of solar-to-chemical conversion needs improvement. Strain engineering offers a promising solution by tailoring the bandgap and electronic structure of materials, thereby enhancing photocatalytic performance. This article provides an overview of recent advances in strain engineering and summarizes its potential applications in photocatalysis. It also discusses the challenges and future directions for strain-promoted photocatalysis.
Whilst the photocatalytic technique is considered to be one of the most significant routes to address the energy crisis and global environmental challenges, the solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency is still far from satisfying practical industrial requirements, which can be traced to the suboptimal bandgap and electronic structure of photocatalysts. Strain engineering is a universal scheme that can finely tailor the bandgap and electronic structure of materials, hence supplying a novel avenue to boost their photocatalytic performance. Accordingly, to explore promising directions for certain breakthroughs in strained photocatalysts, an overview on the recent advances of strain engineering from the basics of strain effect, creations of strained materials, as well as characterizations and simulations of strain level is provided. Besides, the potential applications of strain engineering in photocatalysis are summarized, and a vision for the future controllable-electronic-structure photocatalysts by strain engineering is also given. Finally, perspectives on the challenges for future strain-promoted photocatalysis are discussed, placing emphasis on the creation and decoupling of strain effect, and the modification of theoretical frameworks.
