[0002] Global warming is considered one of the major environmental problems humanity is currently grappling with. Carbon dioxide is the primary cause of global climate change because it is 64% more efficient than other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This chemically stable gas contributes to rising global temperatures by absorbing and emitting infrared radiation. Furthermore, the trend of global warming has revealed even more significant changes over the past 20 years. The consequences of the greenhouse effect are global and severe. To address these problems, extensive research has been conducted over the past few decades, applying various strategies to control carbon dioxide emissions or convert them into other products.

This helps mitigate the effects of global warming, as carbon dioxide is a major cause of global climate change. Therefore, photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is considered one of the most effective ways to obtain clean and renewable energy because it has the following advantages: utilizing solar energy, it is an economically feasible process with minimal environmental impact, chemical energy storage, and reduction of carbon dioxide levels.
