Abstract

Reducing CO₂ into high value fuels and chemicals is considered a great challenge in the 21st century. Efficiently activating CO₂ will lead to an important way to utilize it as a resource. This article reviews the latest progress of g-C₃N₄ based catalysts for CO₂ reduction. The different synthetic methods of g-C₃N₄ are briefly discussed. Article mainly introduces methods of g-C₃N₄ shape control, element doping, and use of oxide compounds to modify g-C₃N₄. Modified g-C₃N₄ has more reactive sites, which can significantly reduce the probability of photogenerated electron hole recombination and improve the performance of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction. Considering the literature, the hydrothermal method is widely used because of its simple equipment and process and easy control of reaction conditions. It is foreseeable that hydrothermal technology will continue to innovate and usher in a new period of development. Finally, the prospect of a future reduction of CO₂ by g-C₃N₄-based catalysts is predicted.
