Photocatalytic
CO
2
reduction into hydrocarbon fuels
over photocatalysts has hypothetical and reasonably developed into
a trendy exploration topic. In this study, the progress of the quaternary
nanocomposite containing a graphene-based catalyst was reported; this
was fabricated using the hydrothermal technique. The analysis of physical
characteristics of the nanocomposite confirmed the interaction between
all parts. The quaternary nanocomposite containing the graphene-based
catalyst was utilized for carbon dioxide reduction to methanol (CH
3
OH) under light irradiation. Titanium dioxide (TiO
2
) and the quaternary nanocomposite of AgCuInS
2
were monotonously
spread on the graphene exterior. This nanomaterial showed superior
activity compared with TiO
2
and the binary composite for
CO
2
conversion, and the obtained result indicates that
the synthesized ternary composite enhaces the properties of the photocatalyst
in the reduction process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
