长期以来，人们一直在研究可见光光催化二氧化碳还原，作为解决全球变暖和化石燃料枯竭问题的潜在手段。由金属络合物和颗粒半导体组成的混合系统预计将具有广阔的前景，因为金属络合物具有出色的电化学（和/或光催化）能力，可以还原二氧化碳，而半导体可以高效氧化水。然而，迄今为止尚未开发出令人满意的系统。我们的团队一直在开发这种混合材料，用于可见光驱动的二氧化碳减排。本视角重点介绍了我们最近在光催化二氧化碳还原金属复合物/半导体混合材料开发方面取得的进展，重点关注石墨氮化碳作为半导体成分。
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction with visible light has long been studied as a potential means to address the problems of global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels. Hybrid systems that consist of a metal complex and a particulate semiconductor are expected to be promising because of the excellent electrochemical (and/or photocatalytic) ability of metal complexes for CO2 reduction and the high efficiency of semiconductors for water oxidation. However, a satisfactory system has not been developed to date. Our group has been developing such hybrid materials for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction. This Perspective highlights our recent progress in the development of metal-complex/semiconductor hybrid materials for photocatalytic CO2 reduction with a focus on graphitic carbon nitride as the semiconductor component.
