Complete Photocatalytic Reduction of CO 2 to Methane by H 2 under Solar Light Irradiation

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Nickel supported on silica-alumina is an efficient and reusable photocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 to methane by H2, reaching selectivity above 95% at CO2 conversion over 90%. Although NiO behaves similarly, it undergoes a gradual deactivation upon reuse. About 26% of the photocatalytic activity of Ni/silica-alumina under solar light derives from the visible light photoresponse.
