To address the detrimental effects of climate change, innovative and timely approaches in renewable energy and environmental chemistry are essential. Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide has garnered significant attention as a viable method for carbon capture and utilization, offering the potential to produce valuable fuels. In addition to CO2 reduction, the production of hydrogen through photocatalysis stands as a crucial strategy in sustainable energy, utilizing solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This method not only contributes to the clean energy mix by providing green hydrogen fuel but also supports CO2 photoreduction efforts by presenting an eco-friendly alternative to hydrogen derived from fossil fuels.
为了应对气候变化的不利影响,可再生能源和环境化学方面的创新和及时方法至关重要。二氧化碳的光催化转化作为一种可行的碳捕获和利用方法,具有生产有价值的燃料的潜力,引起了人们的极大关注。除了减少二氧化碳排放外,通过光催化生产氢气是可持续能源的一项关键策略,利用太阳能将水分解成氢气和氧气。这种方法不仅通过提供绿色氢燃料为清洁能源结构做出贡献,而且还通过提供化石燃料氢的环保替代品来支持二氧化碳光减工作。
To combat the adverse effects of climate change, innovative and timely approaches to renewable energy and environmental chemistry are essential. The photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide has attracted great attention as a feasible carbon capture and utilization method with the potential to produce valuable fuels. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions, hydrogen production through photocatalysis is a key strategy for sustainable energy, using solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This approach not only contributes to the clean energy mix by providing green hydrogen fuel, but also supports CO2 light reduction efforts by providing an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel hydrogen.
There is a special focus on discovering new photocatalytic materials to enhance the efficiency of these conversion processes, particularly hydrogen generation. Efforts that draw inspiration from biological CO2 reduction mechanisms and natural photosynthesis for hydrogen production are highly regarded. This topical collection seeks to gather a collection of articles dedicated to the photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and water into valuable fuels and chemicals, encompassing both original research and review articles. In-depth investigations of photocatalytic reaction mechanisms, whether for CO2 reduction or hydrogen evolution, are especially encouraged to offer insights that can advance the understanding and optimization of CO2 emission reduction and hydrogen production strategies.
While the primary emphasis may be on heterogeneous photocatalysis, studies on homogeneous photocatalytic systems and those that explore hybrid approaches bridging the gap between the two are also welcome. This topical collection aims to serve as a platform for sharing new advancements in materials and techniques for photocatalysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
·Photocatalytic CO2 reduction
·Hydrogen production via photocatalytic water splitting
·Innovations in photocatalyst development for improved CO2 photoreduction and hydrogen evolution
·Mechanistic insights into CO2 photoreduction and hydrogen production
·Novel technologies and reactor designs for photocatalytic conversion of CO2 and water into fuels
Keywords: Photocatalysis, CO2 to fuel, Hydrogen production, Solar energy, Energy conversion
