Abstract
A photocatalyst that includes Ag3VO4 nanowires for photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to solid fuels and a method for the fabrication of the photocatalyst. The Ag3VO4 nanowires have a hierarchical structure that includes primary nanorods having a mean diameter of 2.5 to 50 nm arranged into nanowire bundles having a mean diameter of 100 to 500 nm. The photocatalyst is used a method of photocatalytically reducing carbon dioxide to methane, for example, using solar spectrum irradiation.
