Relative to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, NIR light (700–2500 nm), accounting for <em>ca.</em> 50% of solar energy, offers unique advantages such as deeper penetration depth and stronger photothermal effects. Thus, utilizing NIR light can not only compensate for the inherent limitations of UV/visible light-based CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> reduction systems, but also maximize the use of solar energy. However, efficiently harnessing NIR light remains challenging because of its low photon energy, making it difficult to drive CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> reduction. Additionally, the limited knowledge of the reduction mechanism driven by low-energy photons further hinders progress in this field. In this review, we systematically introduce the motivation and fundamental principles of NIR-light-driven CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> reduction, the design strategies for NIR-light-activated photocatalysts (including the energy band structure regulation strategy, the energy transfer strategy, and the photothermal utilization strategy), NIR-light absorption mechanisms of these catalysts, and representative applications of these strategies. Finally, we present our perspectives on the challenges facing NIR-light-driven CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> reduction and provide suggestions for improving current photocatalysts, characterization techniques, evaluation procedures, and potential large-scale applications in future research. With further advancements in NIR-light-driven CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> reduction, it holds great promise to maximize the exploitation of solar energy, ultimately achieving efficient CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> photoconversion for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fundamentals of DEMS equipment and its significant development and evolution process in battery gas detection are discussed. By analysing extensive experimental data, the effects of external parameters on gas production in batteries and their quantitative impacts were evaluated. To elucidate the essence of gas generation, the reaction mechanisms are comprehensively analysed and discussed at the molecular scale, utilizing <em>in situ</em> DEMS detection data and complementary characterization methods. Furthermore, effective strategies for suppressing gas production, ranging from laboratory research to industrial applications, are introduced. Finally, promising directions for advancing gas monitoring technologies are identified to inspire the revolutionary design of safer and longer-lasting batteries.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144341436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer therapy, leveraging cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate cancer cells. While traditional type II PDT relies on high oxygen levels and consumes substantial amounts of oxygen, type I PDT requires less oxygen and holds great potential in addressing the hypoxic microenvironments characteristic of solid tumors. Over the last six years, our research team has made pioneering contributions to this field, with a particular focus on type I photosensitizers (PSs) and their diverse applications, including oxygen-sparing PDT, mitochondrial respiration inhibitors, modulation of cellular self-protection pathways, targeted cancer cell destruction, regulation of cellular signaling pathways, immune activation via nanomedicines, and intracellular oxygen-independent artificial photoredox catalysis. Notably, in 2018, our research proposed a \"partial oxygen-recyclable mechanism\" mediated by O2˙-, successfully revealing why the type I mechanism can be used for overcoming PDT hypoxia resistance. This revitalized interest in type I PDT and inspired numerous research groups worldwide to develop a plethora of new O2˙- photogenerators. However, inconsistencies in mechanistic interpretations, detection methodologies, and application strategies have arisen due to fragmented communication within the field of photoscience and ambiguity in some key definitions. Given our research team's significant contributions and expertise in the type I PDT domain, we believe it is imperative to present a comprehensive review to establish standardized definitions, mechanisms, molecular designs, detection techniques, and clinical applications of type I PDT in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Our goal is to provide a clear and authoritative resource for both specialists and non-specialists, fostering a deeper understanding of type I PDT and inspiring future innovations to advance more effective and clinically relevant therapies for cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144328929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
