| Details | Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction of artificial photosynthesis is a promising chemical process to solve resource, energy, and environmental problems. An advantage of artificial photosynthesis is that solar energy is converted to chemical products using abundant water as electron and proton sources. It can be operated under ambient temperature and pressure. Especially, photocatalytic CO2 reduction employing a powdered material would be a low-cost and scalable system for practical use because of simplicity of the total system and simple mass-production of a photocatalyst material.In this Account, single particulate photocatalysts, Z-scheme photocatalysts, and photoelectrodes are introduced for artificial photosynthetic CO2 reduction. It is indispensable to use water as an electron donor (i.e., reasonable O2 evolution) but not to use a sacrificial reagent of a strong electron donor, for achievement of the artificial photosynthetic CO2 reduction accompanied by ΔG > 0. |
