Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a promising technology for recycling that offers both environmental and economic benefits. Among the potential photocatalysts, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) stand out as class materials with remarkable photophysical photochemical properties. Despite growing number studies on MNCs-based photocatalytic CO2 in recent years, systematic comparative overview these still lacking. This review provides concise comprehensive summary latest research catalysts enhancing performance. Moreover, this highlights challenges opportunities field based current development trends.
