The intensifying climate emergency compels a rapid paradigm shift from fossil fuel-based energy systems toward sustainable, carbon-neutral alternatives. Among emerging strategies, the photocatalytic valorization of CO2 into energy-dense fuels and commodity chemicals by suitable photocatalysts presents a straightforward and economically viable solution for both greenhouse gas mitigation and renewable energy storage.

1 Introduction In response to the urgent need to mitigate the profound anthropogenic effects of climate change, the replacement of fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy alternatives has become a critical imperative.[1-3] This requires the development of innovative solutions to fully harness renewable energy and confront the global energy challenge head-on.[4, 5] At this crucial point, converting CO2 into valuable products, such as carbon monoxide (CO), formic acid (HCOOH), formaldehyde...
