Solar light-driven photocatalytic energy conversion over robust semiconductor materials represents a promising route. Among which, photocatalytic water splitting with the aid of methanol has drawn significant attention. However, depth exploration of methanol conversion for C₂₊ chemicals in this process remains limited. Basic knowledge about the potential transformation products of methanol, the selective activation mechanisms for each chemical bond within methanol, and the application of methanol activation for the creation of high-value C₂₊ compounds, etc., is still inadequate, and worthy of thorough investigation. So, in this review, we highlighted recent advances and trials on the photocatalytic conversion of methanol for C₂₊ compounds, including ethylene glycol, ethanol, 1,1-dimethoxymethane and N-methylation compounds. Particular emphasis is placed on an in-depth exploration of the reaction intermediates, mechanisms of each unique catalytic system and the intricate relationship between structure and activity. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities in photocatalytic methanol reforming research are also presented.
