Highly efficient utilization … of solar energy and fast hydrogenation rates are the great challenges of photoinduced CO 2 conversion. In their Communication on page 11478 ff., S. Ouyang, J. Ye et al. demonstrate that the photoinduced conversion of CO 2 over Group VIII nanocatalysts is a straightforward and effective process because of an excellent photothermal effect that is induced by surface plasmon resonance over a wide range of the solar spectrum, and unique activation abilities.
