Photocatalytic Reactions

The development of sustainable yet efficient technologies to store solar light into high energy molecules, such as hydrocarbons and hydrogen, is a pivotal challenge in 21st century society. In the field of photocatalysis, a wide variety of chemical routes can be pursued to obtain solar fuels but the two most promising are carbon dioxide photoreduction and photoreforming of biomass-derived substrates. Despite their great potentialities, these technologies still need to be improved to represent a reliable alternative to traditional fuels, in terms of both catalyst design and photoreactor engineering. This review highlights the chemical fundamentals of different photocatalytic reactions for solar fuels production and provides a mechanistic insight on proposed reaction pathways. Also, possible cutting-edge strategies to obtain solar fuels are reported, focusing on how the chemical bases of the investigated reaction affect experimental choices.

The photo-driven reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into green and valuable solar fuels could be a promising solution to simultaneously address energy- and environmental-related problems. This approach could play an integral role in achieving a sustainable energy economy by closing the carbon cycle and allowing the storage and transportation of intermittent solar energy within the chemical bonds of hydrocarbon molecules. This Perspective discusses the latest technological advancements in photo-driven CO2 conversion via various pathways, namely photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and photovoltaic-integrated systems. In addition to providing an outlook on unresolved issues concerning the said technologies, this Perspective also spotlights new trends and strategies in the structural engineering of materials to meet the demands for prominent CO2 photoreduction activity as well as spearhead the ground-breaking advances in the field that lead to the translation of CO2 photo-driven technologies from the laboratory to industrial-scale applications.
