Visible light active SrZrO3/PbS nanocomposite for photoconversion of CO2 into methane and methanol

Visible Light Active Ce-Doped and Cu–Ce co-doped TiO2 Nanocrystals and Optofluidics for Clean Alcohol Production from CO2

“…Figure compares the optimal production rates for ethanol and methanol obtained in the present work with those reached in different visible-light-driven systems in the last years using aqueous solutions, although different photocatalysts, electrolytes, light intensities, and photoreactor configurations were employed. ,,,,,− The literature reports a maximum production of ethanol of 51.8 μmol·g –1 ·h –1 from direct CO 2 photoconversion using abundant red phosphorus and Bi 2 MoO 6 as a photocatalyst . Nevertheless, this value has been recently improved (218.2 μmol·g –1 ·h –1 ) by developing an innovative photoactive porous titania-based metal–organic aerogel with a meso/macroporous structure that facilitates the diffusion of CO 2 and reduction products in an optofluidic microreactor, resulting in unprecedented methanol production from CO 2 photoreduction (786 μmol·g –1 ·h –1 ).…”
