Abstract

Photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 into hydrocarbon fuels, an artificial photosynthesis, is based on the simulation of natural photosynthesis in green plants, whereby O 2 and carbohydrates are produced from H 2 O and CO 2 using sunlight as an energy source. It couples the reductive half‐reaction of CO...
