Abstract

There is a dire need for sustainable and renewable energy sources. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) transformation by photochemical and electrochemical reduction reactions (CO₂RR) is promising for producing valuable products. Both these technologies have demonstrated incredible potential to produce zero-carbon-emission fuels. Hence, reducing CO₂ needs catalysts as a climacteric tool regardless of its reaction-modes, such as photocatalytic, photoelectrocatalytic, and electrocatalytic. In this review, the fundamentals, concepts, mechanisms, related photo and electrocatalysts, role of photosensitizers, interaction of CO₂ with surfaces of electrodes, enzyme assisted photocatalytic reduction, and recent developments in single-atom catalysis for CO₂ reduction along with future perspectives have been documented in details.
