Abstract

The photocatalytic CO₂ reduction over LaPO₄ was significantly enhanced by simply introducing CoCl₂ into the aqueous medium. The introduced CoCl₂ functioned as a co-catalyst accelerating photogenerated hole transfer, by the reversible redox couple Co^III–Cl/Co^II–Cl, effectively suppressing the recombination of photogenerated charges.
