Solar-driven water splitting provides a leading approach to store the abundant yet
intermittent solar energy and produce hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier. A …

Conventional semiconductors such as silicon‐and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs)‐based
photodetectors have encountered a bottleneck in modern electronics and photonics in terms …

Plasmonic nanostructures have tremendous potential to be applied in photocatalytic CO2
reduction, since their localized surface plasmon resonance can collect low‐energy‐photons …

Recently, the excessive consumption of fossil fuels has caused high emissions of the
greenhouse gases, CO 2 into atmosphere and global energy crisis. Mimicking the natural …

Selective organic transformation under mild conditions constitutes a challenge in green
chemistry, especially for alcohol oxidation, which typically requires environmentally …

This work presented an innovative and rationally engineered palindromic molecular beacon
(PMB) based “Z-scheme” photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing protocol for the selective …

Metal-enhanced photocatalysis has recently received increasing interest, mainly due to the
ability of metal to directly or indirectly degrade pollutants. In this review, we briefly review the …

This review focuses on the physics of optical excitation dynamics, band gap engineering
and charge carrier dynamics in metal-halide perovskites and their organic hybrids as well as …

The discovery of the photoelectric effect by Heinrich Hertz in 1887 set the foundation for over
125 years of hot carrier science and technology. In the early 1900s it played a critical role in …

Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) has recently emerged as an attractive photocatalyst for
solar energy conversion. However, the photocatalytic activities of g‐C3N4 remain moderate …
