TL;DR: This review describes the classification, synthesis, formation mechanism, and rational regulation of the behaviors of photogenerated charge carriers, aiming at their effective utilization based on YS structures in heterogeneous photocatalytic reactions.

TL;DR: Three‐phase photocatalysis provides a general and reliable method to enhance the competitiveness of the CRR and can overcome the mass‐transfer limitations of CO2, inhibit the HER because of lowering proton contacts, and overall enhance theCRR.

TL;DR: In-situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy unveils that the existence of grain boundaries enhances the adsorption of the key intermediate (*CO) on the copper surface to boost the further CO2 reduction.

TL;DR: A seed-mediated growth method to synthesize ultrathin Pd-Au alloy nanoshells with controllable alloying degree on Pd nanocubes with superior CO2ER performance, and may offer a general strategy for the synthesis of bimetallic NCs to explore the structure-activity relationship in catalytic reactions.

TL;DR: It is described that ultrathin Pd nanosheets effectively reduce the onset potential for CO by exposing abundant atoms with comparatively low generalized coordination number in palladium-based catalysts toward CO2 ER.
