High Efficient Photoreduction CO2 with H2O on Metal Cu-Modified Graphitic Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Supported TiO2 Catalysts under Simulated Solar

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cu-modified graphitic ordered mesoporous carbon supported TiO2 catalyst was synthesized based on a hard template method. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis techinques were used to characterize the sample. It was observed that copper and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were well dispersed in the Cu-modified mesoporous graphitic carbon, and the resulting composite with ordered mesostructure and high specific surface area exhibited an exceptionally high activity in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O under simulated solar irradiation.
