Abstract

Abstract:

The research field of the solar-driven reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels or fine chemicals has grown rapidly in the past few decades. It is still a great challenge to develop efficient photocatalytic systems for CO₂ conversion. Photochemical CO₂ reduction in homogeneous solution plays an important role in the mechanism investigation, catalyst development and parameter optimization. This review will present much of the significant work that has been done in the field of homogeneous photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ over the recent five years. The challenges and prospects for further development of homogeneous system are presented.

Key words: homogeneous, photocatalysis, CO₂ reduction, metal complexes
