Catalysts in Electro-, Photo- and Photoelectrocatalytic CO2 Reduction Reactions
Publication date: Available online 2 March 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry ReviewsAuthor(s): Yawen Wang, Da He, Hongyu Chen, Dunwei WangAbstractCarbon dioxide (CO2) is regarded as a main contributor to the greenhouse effect. As a potential strategy to mitigate its negative impacts, the reduction of CO2 is environmentally critical, economically meaningful and scientifically challenging. Being both thermodynamically and kinetically unfavored, CO2 reduction requires catalysts as a crucial component irrespective of the reaction modes, be it electrocatalytic, photoelectrocatalytic or pho...
