Photoelectrochemical Reduction of CO2 Over Graphene-Based Composites:Basic Principle,Recent Progress,and Future Perspective

In response to aggravated fossil resources consuming and greenhouse effect, CO₂ reduction has become a globally important scientific issue because this method can be used to produce value-added feedstock for application in alternative energy supply. Photoelectrocatalysis, achieved by combining optical energy and external electrical bias, is a feasible and promising system for CO₂ reduction. In particular, applying graphene in tuning photoelectrochemical CO₂ reduction has aroused considerable attention because graphene is advantageous for enhancing CO₂ adsorption, facilitating electrons transfer, and thus optimizing the performance of graphene-based composite electrodes. In this review, we elaborate the fundamental principle, basic preparation methods, and recent progress in developing a variety of graphene-based composite electrodes for photoelectrochemical reduction of CO₂ into solar fuels and chemicals. We also present a perspective on the opportunities and challenges for future research in this booming area and highlight the potential evolution strategies for advancing the research on photoelectrochemical CO₂ reduction.
