The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into sustainable, green fuels and value-added chemicals is believed to be an appealing method overcome both the energy crisis environmental problems. Numerous efforts have been dedicated enhance efficiency selectivity through developing photocatalysts reduction systems in recent years. This review gives overview latest progress for visible-light research advances heterogeneous systems. Furthermore, roles cocatalyst heterojunctions increase charge transfer, separation visible light excitation are discussed. Finally, challenges perspectives visible-light-driven proposed.
