Abstract
This chapter provides an extensive introduction to hybrid inorganic and organic assembly systems for photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide. The industrial revolution facilitated anthropogenic activities, increasing carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, and this in turn led to global warming. Meanwhile, enhancing the capability of producing hydrocarbon fuels could probably avoid a future fuel shortage and strengthen energy security. Therefore, photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into carbonaceous fuels becomes crucial. Materials ranging from inorganic semiconducting particles to organic molecules will be explored in this area of research. A brief introduction describes the kinetic and thermodynamic mechanistic parts of this photocatalytic reduction reaction and the related measurement criteria. Moreover, the updated research progress in this chapter covers the techniques of changing morphology, coupling with cavity space material, coating with various cocatalysts, and synthesizing organic molecule complexes/inorganic photocatalysts used to improve the process of carbon dioxide reduction.
