Light-driven catalytic conversion of CO2 with heterogenized molecular catalysts based on fourth period transition metals

This review examines recent advances in photocatalytic CO2 reduction using heterogenized molecular catalysts. The main part of the discussion is focused on chemistry used to attach catalysts different supports produce hybrid materials, and how this effects performance. Examples materials for colloidal dispersions solid suspensions are presented, including those based carbon nitride, chalcogenide perovskite quantum dots, metal oxides. Some key examples which has been employed make electrodes photoelectrodes photoelectrochemical also presented. In addition, incorporation into ordered, porous frameworks (MOFs COFs) discussed because it offers many new unique chemical pathways heterogenization. Lastly, an outlook field potential future impact these systems solar fuels research given.
