Gold nanorods (Au NRs) are known for their efficient conversion of photon energy into heat, resulting in hyperthermia and suppression of tumor growths in vitro and in vivo.
An all-solid-state Z-scheme was constructed for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, consisting of CdS and TiO2 as photocatalysts, and reduced graphene oxide as a solid electron mediator.
