Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the photocatalytic CO2 reduction process on TiO2 ‐nanoparticle‐loaded Ti3 C2 MXene. The hydroxyl groups decorated on Ti3 C2 improve adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules. Under sunlight irradiation, the electrons "bumped" in TiO2 are "sprinkled" on the Ti3 C2 ‐based "meadow", on which the CO2 along with H2 O are reduced into hydrocarbon solar fuels (e.g., CH4 and CO). More information can be found in the Communication by Ye et al. onpage 1606 in Issue 10, 2018 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201800083 ).
