Description
Changwen Gao and co-authors review light driven catalysts that snip carbon dioxide off a class of acids. Their review from 2026 covers eight years of work on C(sp3) carboxylic acids, common, safe starting goods. Dropping the acid group builds new carbon bonds to hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, or fluorine.
Catalysts split into four kinds: organic metal complexes, plain metal salts, metal free light systems, and semiconductor solids. For each, the review sets out build, working rules, and the core reaction path. Gains and flaws are weighed on speed, range, cost, and reuse. Open bars include catalysts that answer to near infrared light and better photon use, named as the next push.
