Alternative photocatalysts to TiO 2 for the photocatalytic reduction of CO 2
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The increased concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere, originating from the burning of fossil fuels in stationary and mobile sources, is referred as the “Anthropogenic Greenhouse Effect” and constitutes a major environmental concern. The scientific community is highly concerned about the resulting enhancement of the mean atmospheric temperature, so a vast diversity of methods has been applied. Thermochemical, electrochemical, photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical processes, as well as combination of solar electricity generation and water splitting processes have been performed in order to lower the CO 2 atmospheric levels. Photocatalytic methods are environmental friendly and succeed in reducing the atmospheric CO 2 concentration and producing fuels or/and useful organic compounds at the same time. The most common photocatalysts for the CO 2 reduction are the inorganic, the carbon based semiconductors and the hybrids based on semiconductors, which combine stability, low cost and appropriate structure in order to accomplish redox reactions. In this review, inorganic semiconductors such as single-metal oxide, mixed-metal oxides, metal oxide composites, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), salt composites, carbon based semiconductors such as graphene based composites, CNT composites, g-C 3 N 4 composites and hybrid organic-inorganic materials (ZIFs) were studied. TiO 2 and Ti based photocatalysts are extensively studied and therefore in this review they are not mentioned.
