Functionalized graphene quantum dots (fGQDs) as visible‐light‐harvesting photocatalysts for solar fuel production from CO 2 is explored for the first time. The highly efficient light‐harvesting fGQDs photocatalyst upon integration with the biocatalyst performs highly selective CO 2 reduction to formic acid. The results are a benchmark example of GQD based materials as photocatalysts for selective production of solar fuels from CO 2 and opens up possibilities for greener synthesis of other value added chemicals.
