Abstract

A coupled photocatalytic system has been constructed by integrating CdS quantum dots as a light-absorber and polyoxometalate-supported [Re(CO)₃]⁺ (POM-Re) catalysts, which exhibited efficient activity towards photoreduction of CO₂ to HCOOH. Mechanistic studies revealed that the favorable migration of photogenerated electrons endows Sb₂W₂₀Re₂ with efficient photocatalytic CO₂ reduction activity.
