🎯 I'm excited to share my latest publication: "Quantum Dot-Based Heterogeneous Photocatalysts for Efficient CO₂ Reduction."
✅️This work explores the potential of quantum dot-based heterogeneous photocatalytic systems for converting CO₂ into valuable products using solar energy. The study highlights recent advances in material design, charge separation strategies, interfacial engineering, and photocatalytic performance, while also discussing key challenges and future research directions toward sustainable carbon utilization.
✏️Abstract:
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as highly efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction due to their tunable band structures, strong visible-light absorption, and high surface reactivity. This review highlights the advances in QD-based photocatalytic systems, including metal oxide, transition metal chalcogenide, carbon, perovskite, and MXene QDs, with particular emphasis on heterojunction and S-scheme designs that enhance charge separation and suppress recombination. Experimental results demonstrate that Cs2CuBr4/TiO2 heterojunctions achieve superior CO and CH4 generation with high selectivity, while dual Z-scheme systems incorporating MXene QDs extend activity into the near-infrared region, enabling multi-electron CO2 reduction pathways. The integration of QDs with 2D supports, surface ligands, and step- or S-scheme architectures significantly improves light absorption, charge transport, and CO2 activation, offering a versatile platform for solar-driven artificial photosynthesis. These findings underscore the potential of QD-based photocatalysts for sustainable energy production and CO2 mitigation.
