Abstract
A method of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) including contacting a catalyst and the CO2 and irradiating the catalyst and the CO2 with visible light. Upon irradiating the CO2 is reduced to a conversion product. The catalyst includes Fe2TiO5 in the form of nanosheets. The nanosheets have an average width of 200 nanometers (nm) to 800 nm and form a hierarchical structure.
Claims18
A method of reducing carbon dioxide, comprising:
- contacting a catalyst and the carbon dioxide;
- and
- irradiating the catalyst and the carbon dioxide with visible light,
- wherein on the irradiating the carbon dioxide is reduced to a conversion product,
- wherein the catalyst comprises Fe2TiO5,
- wherein particles of the Fe2TiO5 are in a form of nanosheets,
- wherein the nanosheets have an average width of 200-800 nm, and
- wherein the nanosheets form a hierarchical structure of two or more of the nanosheets stacked on top of one another.
