摘      要：CONSPECTUS:Imitating the natural carbon cycle,the utilization of the carbon-based greenhouse gases(i.e.,carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and methane(CH_(4)))from the atmosphere as the carbon feedstocks for valuable fuel and chemical production represents a prospective strategy for achieving the sustainable development of human *** light of this,photocatalytic CO_(2)/CH_(4)conversions,which can directly harvest solar energy for the production of valuable fuels and chemicals,show gigantic potential for closing the loop of the artificial carbon *** the past several decades,immense progress has been made in this field,showing its practical ***,the photocatalytic conversion efficiency and selectivity of such reactions remain *** that the photocatalytic reaction is intimately related to the surface catalytic reaction on the active sites of the photocatalysts,the active site design has been proven to be effective for optimizing photocatalytic performance,yet the lack of effective techniques for the identification of the active sites,which is normally at the molecular level,greatly limits its potential in ***,with the rapid expansion in the field of materials science,a large number of advanced characterization techniques have been developed,equipping the materials scientist and chemist with powerful tools for unveiling the mask of the active sites on the ***,the active site design for the photocatalysts has undergone a ***,the identification and design of active sites have emerged as hot topics in catalysis and are expected to push forward development in the field of the artificial carbon cycle.
