Abstract

Natural photosynthesis harvests the energy in solar light to power chemical reactions and uses CO2 as the carbon source. Because light as an energy source is free and abundant, chemical reactions similar to photosynthesis have major fundamental and practical implications.[1, 2] Indeed, significant efforts have been attracted to this research goal. The majority of attention for photochemical reactions that transform CO2 has focused primarily ...
