Photocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide

  • Chapter
Hydrogen Production and Remediation of Carbon and Pollutants

Part of the book series: Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World ((ECSW,volume 6))

Abstract

Reduction is an effective way to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, into compounds that can be further used for materials and energy. Here we discuss the emission and utilization of CO2. Then we review the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 with emphasis on the use of TiO2, modified TiO2 and non-titanium metal oxides. Finally, the challenges and prospects for further development of CO2 photocatalytic reduction are presented.
