Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 on Au/TiO2 Nanocomposite Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plasmonic Au decorated TiO2 nanosheet film was firstly prepared by the combination of a hydrothermal method and a microwave-assisted chemical reduction process. The prepared sample was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis absorption spectrum (UV-vis) and photoluminescence spectrum (PL) respectively. Results show that Au nanoparticles with narrow distribution are uniformly loaded on the nanosheet surface, and the resulted composite nanostructure exhibits distinct surface plasmon absorption and quenched photoluminescence compared to pure TiO2 nanostructure. Photocatalytic tests show that Au decorated TiO2 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol.
