The facile conversion of H₂O or CO₂ into chemical fuels (such as H₂, CO) via semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) artificial photosynthesis is considered as an effective way to solve the energy and environmental crisis. Due to the unique photophysical and photochemical properties (e.g., excellent light absorption capacity, adjustable energy band structure, multi-exciton generation, abundant surface active sites, etc.), QDs have received much attention in the field of artificial photosynthesis in recent years. Here, we summarize our recent advances in chemical conversions via artificial photosynthesis using semiconductor QDs, and also provide prospects of future studies.
- Quantum dots,
- Artificial photosynthesis,
- Photocatalytic H₂ evolution,
- Photocatalytic CO₂ reduction,
