제목 Sustained, photocatalytic Carbon dioxide reduction to methane in a continuous flow reactor by earth-abundant materials: Reduced titania-Cu​2O Z-scheme heterostructures
초록 Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 is promising approach for solar energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions​ but it still remain limited photocatalyst stability and relatively high cost have hampered practical application. In the present work, a unique strategy is adopted to synthesize a stable, and inexpensive photocatalyst comprised of earth-abundant materials: a reduced titania-Cu2​O Z-scheme heterostructure. Under illumination for 6 h, the optimized reduced titania-Cu2​O photocatalyst enables 0.13 % photoreduction of highly diluted CO2​ with water vapors to 462nmol g−1 of CH4 while showing excellent stability over seven testing cycles (42 h). Our studies show the Z-scheme inhibits Cu2O photocorrosion, while its synergistic effects with reduced titania result in sustained CH4 formation in a continuous flow photoreactor. To the best of our knowledge stability exhibited by the reduced titania-Cu2​O Z-scheme is the highest for any Cu-based photocatalyst.​
