Research topics from publications: Optimizing charge carrier dynamics in photocatalysts for enhanced CO2 photoreduction: Fundamental principles, advanced strategies, and characterization techniques. Representative work: The photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 into valuable chemicals represents a significant strategy for addressing global warming and climate change. The effectiveness and selectivity of this process depend critically on the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs within photocatalysts. This review summarizes recent advancements in optimizing photocatalyst performance through enhanced charge carrier dynamics. We first detail the fundamental principles of free carrier dynamics and exciton interactions and then evaluate strategies for improving charge carrier separation and utilization, such as cocatalyst loading, heterojunction formation, photoelectron injection, and donor-acceptor systems.
