基于半导体的太阳能电池被认为是利用太阳能解决关键能源和环境问题的有效方法，如化石燃料短缺和气候变化。基于光催化剂的光催化剂的总体效率可以通过创建纳米复合材料与其他功能材料的结合来进一步提高，包括金属、石墨烯和金属有机框架（MOF）。这篇评论强调了最近通过微滴合理设计基于光催化剂的进展，其中合成可以以快速和可控的方式完成。特别强调了三种典型的基于半导体的复合材料，包括半导体异质结，褶皱氧化石墨烯/半导体复合材料，和MOF/半导体复合材料。纳米复合材料的设计，光催化性能和基本机制背后的原理进行了系统的讨论。
Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is regarded as an effective approach to harness solar energy to address the critical energy and environmental issues, such as fossil fuel shortage and climate change. The overall efficiency of the semiconductor-based photocatalysts can be further improved by creating nanocomposites with the incorporation of other functional materials, including metals, graphene, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This critical review highlights the recent progress on the rational design of semiconductor-based photocatalysts via microdroplets, where the synthesis can be completed in a fast and controlled manner. Particular emphasis is given to three typical semiconductor-based composites, including semiconductor heterojunctions, crumpled graphene oxide/semiconductor composites, and MOF/semiconductor composites. The rationale behind the nanocomposite design, photocatalytic performance, and fundamental mechanisms are systematically discussed.
