Abstract

Converting solar energy into fuel via photo-assisted water splitting to generate H₂ or drive CO₂ photoreduction is an attractive scientific and technological goal to address the increasing global demand for energy and to reduce the impact of energy production on climate change. Solar-driven hydrogenation of CO₂ into value-added chemical products is one of the most promising strategies for reducing CO₂ and is anticipated to be a sustainable energy source shortly. In this study, we focus on the utilization of different sustainable H₂ sources for the photoreduction of CO₂ to value-added organic products. Various photocatalysts, photoreactor configurations, and reaction parameters for the photoreduction of CO₂ are discussed. For future research endeavors, a general approach for the photoreduction of CO₂ to mimic natural photosynthesis, in which the H₂ source is provided directly during the photocatalytic water splitting, is proposed and verified to generate value-added organic products successfully.
