Abstract
A composite photocatalyst, comprising V2C@V2O5/TiO2, is disclosed herein. Additionally, a process for producing this composite, particularly V2C@V2O5/TiO2, involves the steps of preparing V2C@V2O5/TiO2 composite; grinding the V2C@V2O5/TiO2 composite; and calcining the ground product to obtain the composite photocatalyst V2C@V2O5/TiO2. Furthermore, the disclosure encompasses utilizing the composite photocatalyst in a CO2 reduction process, wherein the photocatalyst is irradiated in a photoreactor system.
