Photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 into hydrocarbon fuels, an artificial photosynthesis, is a challenging, yet promising avenue for achieving a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Accordingly, many scientists worldwide develop new and effective materials for CO 2 fixation and reduction. On page 4607, Z. Zou, Y. Zhou, and W. Tu review recent state‐of‐the‐art accomplishments in this area.
