Abstract

Photocatalysis has been regarded as “21st century dream technology” and inspired increasing scientific interest due to their environmental and economic applicability. Due to the bottlenecks of photocatalytic materials (PMs) faced, such as low carrier separation efficiency, insufficient active sites, and incompatibility between surface interface properties and targeted reaction, restricting its advance from laboratory to application. The emergence of ionic liquids (ILs) provides a favorable term for the development of PMs due to their tailorability and diversity. This review starts with the properties of ILs (hydrogen bonds effect, electrostatic effect, polarity effect, and coordination effect), followed by analyzing the potential of ILs in PMs modification. Specifically, this review systematically summarized the regulatory mechanisms and unique advantages of ILs on the particle size, morphology, electron transport and interface properties of PMs. Finally, a summary and outlook on the major challenges, opportunities for future research in high-powered PMs by the strategy of ILs modification was proposed.

期刊介绍： Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers. The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
