TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent developments and future perspectives in carbon dioxide usage for sustainable production of energy and chemicals and to reduce global warming is presented, focusing on the design of metal electrodes to improve their performance and recent developments of alternative approaches such as the application of ionic liquids as electrolytes and microorganisms as co-catalysts.

TL;DR: For a variety of metals and semiconductors, an attempt is made to generalize observations in the literature on the effect of process conditions applied during photodeposition on (i) particle size distributions, (ii) oxidation states of the metals obtained, and (iii) consequences for photocatalytic activities.

TL;DR: Online mass spectroscopy studies combined with X-ray diffraction data suggest the reduction of the Cu2O films in the presence of CO2, generating a nanoparticulate Cu morphology, prior to the production of hydrogen, CO, and hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: A cobalt protoporphyrin immobilized on a pyrolytic graphite electrode that reduces carbon dioxide in an aqueous acidic solution at relatively low overpotential, with an efficiency and selectivity comparable to the best porphyrIn-based electrocatalyst in the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of recent advances in the design and application of novel reactors and devices is presented, focusing on the introduction of a multitude of micro- or even nanoscale light emitting sources close to the catalyst particles.
