Solar fuel is one of the ideal energy sources in the future.The synergy of photo and thermal effects leads to a new approach tohigher solar fuel production under relatively mild conditions. Thispaper reviews different approaches for solar fuel production fromspectrum-selective photo-thermal synergetic catalysis. The reviewbegins with the meaning of synergetic effects, and the mechanismsof spectrum-selectivity and photo-thermal catalysis. Then, from atechnical perspective, a number of experimental or theoretical worksare sorted by the chemical reactions and the sacrificial reagentsapplied. In addition, these works are summarized and tabulated basedon the operating conditions, spectrum-selectivity, materials, andproductivity. A discussion is finally presented concerning futuredevelopment of photo-thermal catalytic reactions with spectrum-selectivity.
Key words: photo-thermal catalysis; spectrum-selectivity; solar fuel; full-spectrum
