Abstract
Extensive burning of fossil fuels to fulfill the intensifying demands of energy has led to raising the concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere, which is a major component responsible for global warming. Imitating the natural photosynthesis, photoreduction of CO 2 seems to be one of the most promising solutions to this critical problem. Among the different photocatalysts, ZnO had been thoroughly examined for CO 2 reduction owing to its low cost and eco-friendliness. Combining ZnO with carbon-based nanomaterials is being progressively investigated to improve the photocatalytic efficiency. This article is organized to explore the latest advancements in ZnO/carbon nanocomposites for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction systems. The article begins with the fundamentals of photocatalysis, and the basic mechanism of CO 2 reduction over semiconductor materials is also reviewed. Then, it surveys literature and underlines the recent developments of ZnO/carbon-based hybrid nanomaterials, covering activated carbon, graphene-based materials, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots and recently developed morphologies. More specifically, synthesis routes and mechanisms of CO 2 reduction enhancement are thoroughly discussed. Finally, a summary along with some new valuable recommendations are also presented. • CO 2 photoreduction is considered most promising solution for CO 2 utilization. • ZnO is versatile material to its low cost and eco-friendly properties. • Carbon materials exhibited high surface adsorption characteristics. • ZnO/Carbon composite materials exhibited enhanced photoreduction characteristics.
