Perovskite and graphene combined to enhance photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide

A composite of perovskite quantum dots and graphene that reduces CO₂when stimulated with light has been developed by researchers in China. It is the first known example of artificial photosynthesis based on perovskite quantum dots.
