Recent Progress in Plasmonic Hybrid Photocatalysis for CO2 Photoreduction and C–C Coupling Reactions

Plasmonic hybrid nanostructures have been investigated as attractive heterogeneous photocatalysts that can utilize sunlight to produce valuable chemicals. In particular, the efficient photoconversion of CO2 into a stable hydrocarbon with be promising strategy achieve sustainable human life on Earth. The next step for hydrocarbons once obtained from is carbon–carbon coupling reactions chemical energy storage or fine For these purposes, plasmonic nanomaterials widely visible-light-induced photocatalyst increased efficiency photochemical sunlight. this review, we discuss recent achievements involving CO and photoreductions form multi-carbon products C–C reactions, such Suzuki–Miyaura reactions.
