Highly efficient and stable Ag/AgIO3 particles for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light†
Abstract
Ag supported on AgIO3 (Ag/AgIO3 particles), a plasmonic photocatalyst, was synthesized through a facile solid-state ion-exchange procedure followed by reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The particles displayed high activity and stability in the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CH4 and CO using water vapor under visible-light irradiation (>400 nm wavelength).
