Encapsulation of CdSe QDs into micellar microreactors for highly selective photocatalytic CO <sub>2</sub> reduction in aqueous solution
Hydrophobic ligand-modification of CdSe QDs allows facile encapsulation of the QDs into SDS micelles, creating a hydrophobic, CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched microreactor for QDs enabling efficient, highly selective CO<sub>2</sub>-to-CO photoconversion of 2.47 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> and up to 91.5% selectivity, in aqueous solution, outperforming pristine MPA-CdSe and MUA-CdSe.
