Abstract

Abstract:

The hydrotalcite-like compounds are a special type of two-dimensional anionic clay, which are characterized by tunable composition, memory effect and structural ordering, and thus they are considered to be safe and environment-friendly photocatalysts. We summarize the structural characteristics, properties, and photocatalytic application of hydrotalcite-like compounds in this review, and their catalytic performance in the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide was compared. Secondly, we review the mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ and the challenge in its development. In the end, we introduce the current development of hydrotalcite-based photocatalysts from three aspects, i.e. light absorption, separation of charge carriers and surface reaction, according to the basic mechanism of the CO₂ reduction. Although some progress has been achieved in the study of hydrotalcite-based photocatalysts, it is necessary to further explore their photocatalytic mechanism, synergistic mechanism of various components and interfacial reaction mechanism in order to achieve their rational structural design and precise regulation of the active sites.

Key words: hydrotalcite-like compound, photocatalysis, reduction of carbon dioxide, solar fuel
