Visible-Light Photocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Monoxide to Methane by Nickel(II) Oxide

摘要

Research in the area of "solar fuels" obtained photocatalyti-cally by sunlight is actual and active because these fuels are sustainable and CO2-neutral. Although H2 generation from H2O is the most widely studied photocatalytic process for solar fuel production, the technical problems associated with H2 storage and fuel-cell efficiency make also attractive other chemicals obtained from CO2 such as CH3OH, CH4, and CO.
