Selective and Efficient Photocatalytic Conversion of CO₂ with Ultrathin Nanosheets

Prof. Doh Chang Lee’s group has developed a novel photocatalyst based on ultrathin CdS nanosheets for selective and efficient light-driven conversion of CO₂ into CO. Surface engineering at atomic precision on CdS nanosheets enabled spatial separation of the reductive active sites and the oxidative active sites to designated facets. The facet-resolved redox-active sites favored efficient charge separation in the CdS nanosheets under light, leading to two-orders-of-magnitude increase in conversion rate of CO₂-to-CO. ...read more
