Semiconductor-based photocatalysis has attracted much attention in recent years because of its potential for solving energy and environmental problems that we are now facing. Among many photocatalytic reactions, the splitting of H 2 O into H 2 and O 2 and the reduction of CO 2 with H 2 O into organi...
