Abstract:Titanate perovskite (ATiO 3 ) semiconductors show prospects of being active photocatalysts in the conversion of CO 2 to chemical fuels such as methanol (CH 3 OH) in the aqueous phase. Some of the challenges in using ATiO 3 are limited lightharvesting capability, rapid bulk charge recombination, and the low density of catalytic sites participating in CO 2 reduction. To address these challenges, Ga-doped NiTiO 3 (GNTO) photocatalysts in which Ga ions substitute for Ti ions in the crystal lattice to form electron… Show more
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.
