Abstract

Recently, perovskite materials have shown excellent promise for efficient photodegradation and water splitting processes, on account of their unique crystal structure and electronic properties. The crystal structure of perovskite offers an excellent framework to tune the band gap values to enable visible light absorption and band edge potentials, meeting the requirement of specific photocatalytic features. Nevertheless, fast recombination rate, long-term stability as well as large-scale production still limit their applications especially in light driven processes. Carbon materials, scoping from one-dimensional nanostructures to three-dimensional carbon aerogels, have been successfully utilized in improving structural and optical properties as well as catalytic activities of perovskites. In particular, the recombination rates can be remarkably hindered with the introduction of carbon materials upgrading the catalytic degradation performance. Various perovskite-carbon composites have been discussed, emphasizing their synthesis method, specific improvements on their characteristics related with enhanced activities in the photocatalytic-driven systems. This review provides a broad overview of perovskite coupled with carbonaceous photocatalysts, summarizing developments, and offering useful insights for their future studies.
