Reductive Conversion of Carbon Dioxide Using Various Photocatalyst Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transformation and Utilization of Carbon Dioxide

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

The specific characteristics of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 on various types of active titanium oxide catalysts are reviewed. UV-light irradiation of the bulk TiO2 powders in the presence of CO2 and H2O at room temperature under heterogeneous gas–solid conditions produced CH4 as the major product, while the predominant formations of CH3OH as well as CH4 were observed on the highly dispersed titanium oxide moiety anchored on zeolites and mesoporous silica materials. The CH3OH formation is originated from the unique properties of the charge-transfer excited state, i.e., (Ti3+—O−)* of the tetrahedrally coordinated titanium oxides species within the silica frameworks. Several recent reports concerning efficient CO2 reduction by other unique photocatalytic systems are also reviewed.
