Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 Using Titanium Dioxide and Metal–Semiconductor Nanostructures Made from Titanium Dioxide

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

A study was carried out on the photochemical reduction of CO2 involving titanium dioxide and metal–semiconductor nanostructures made using titanium dioxide. These metal–semiconductor nanocomposites display much higher activity than pure TiO2 particles. The activity of the composites studied in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 increases in the series: TiO2/Ag < TiO2/Au < TiO2/Cu.
