Challenges in Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction [PDF]
Precision ChemistryAn energy crisis and significant anthropogenic CO2 emissions as a result of rising fossil fuel consumption have caused a rapid increase in global temperature. One of the best solutions to these two issues is thought to be the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into value-added carbon-containing products.
