Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to ethylene/ethane offers a sustainable and cost‐effective approach simultaneously produce these high‐demand chemicals while reducing atmospheric level. Lately, atomic active centers (AACs) anchored photocatalysts are comprehensively investigated for their exceptional photocatalytic performance regarding the photosynthesis of ethylene/ethane. This review provides critical summary incorporation various AACs, such as Cu, Au, Ag, Mo, Ni, P/Cu, CuAu, onto different photocatalyst supports, including metal oxide, carbon nitride, red phosphorous, covaleng organic framework , bimetallic sulfide together with crucial role in raising rates production selectivities. Furthermore, this comprehensive summary/analyses preparation routes, chemical composition, configurations, coordination structures, optical characteristics, structure–performance relationship, reaction intermediates, pathways, photocatalysis mechanism, performances as‐prepared AAC using state‐of‐art situ characterization techniques. also emphasizes challenges process conversion target products, limitations, potential applications, future outlooks AACs photocatalysts.
