Abstract

Apart from the industrial production of carbon dioxide (CO2), large amounts of CO2 emissions are associated with increased fossil fuel consumption. Photoreduction of CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels such as methane and methanol is a promising method to convert CO2 as fuel feedstock using the advantage of solar energy. There are several methods and nanomaterials used for the photoreduction of CO2. Efficient nanostructured catalysts are used for CO2 photoreduction. This review discusses the CO2 photoreduction possible strategies to enhance photoreduction efficiency and the photocatalytic systems (homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts) for CO2 reduction.
