Investigate the long-term stability of the photocatalyst

Research gap analysis derived from 3 physics papers in our local library.

The gap

The study does not investigate the long-term stability of the photocatalyst. The CO₂ reduction reaction yields a limited range of products. The study does not explore the scalability of the eco-friendly water-ethanol solvothermal route.

Evidence profile

Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and limitations section and conclusions of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2024 and 2026, all from Scientific Reports. Those papers have been cited 75 times in total.

Conventional wastewater treatment technologies are limited in their ability to simultaneously enable reductive and oxidative transformations. Single-component photocatalysts often have limited performance due to poor visible-light absorption and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers.
