Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to hydrocarbon fuel is of great significance in solving both energy and environmental issues. However, the reaction remains very inefficient due to the kinetic limitations of multiple e − / H + transfer processes and the limited abilities of traditional semiconductors to activate thermodynamically stable CO 2 molecules. A more flexible utilization strategy of solar energy beyond the conventional framework of photocatalysis is needed for realizing a highly efficient CO 2 conversion. In this article, we introduce our recent works on surface-plasmon-enhanced photodriven CO 2 reduction, and discuss how to take the advantages of the unique functions of nanometals in different types of catalytic processes to improve the efficiency of solar-energy utilization for more practical artificial photosynthesis.
光催化co2转化为碳氢燃料对解决能源和环境问题都具有重要意义。然而,由于多个e−/ H +转移过程的动力学限制以及传统半导体激活热力学稳定的CO 2分子的能力有限,该反应仍然非常低效。为了实现高效的co2转化,需要一种超越传统光催化框架的更灵活的太阳能利用策略。在本文中,我们介绍了我们最近在表面等离子体增强光驱动CO 2还原方面的研究进展,并讨论了如何利用纳米金属在不同类型催化过程中的独特功能来提高太阳能利用效率,以实现更实际的人工光合作用。
