Abstract:

The photocatalytic CO2 reduction to hydrocarbon fuel technology is directly driven by solar energy and converts CO2 into directly usable chemicals. It is a transformative technology to help carbon peak and carbon neutrality. The efficient and low-cost operation of this technology is determined by light absorption and utilization, the morphology and structure of photocatalysts, the interfacial catalytic reaction, and mass transfer etc. In general, the internal energy and mass transfer of this technology is a multi-scale spatio-temporal process and needs to be studied by using a multi-physics field coupling model from both theoretical and application aspects. In this paper, the fundamental theory and the state-of-the-art are summarized. Also, we present the development tendency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction technology from aspects of light absorption expansion and utilization, photogenerated carrier separation enhancement, oxidation/reduction half-reaction optimization, and mass transfer enhancement. Then we discuss the matching strategy between energy transfer and chemical reaction within the whole process, which provide the way for reducing the energy loss, promoting performance, and future industrial application of solar-driven CO2 reduction.

Key words: solar energy, photocatalytic, CO2 reduction, hydrocarbon fuel, optimization strategy
