Novel Photocatalyst Speeds Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Fuels
DAEGU, South Korea, July 7, 2017 — A titania photocatalyst has been developed that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane three times more efficiently than existing photocatalysts. To achieve this result, the titania surface was manipulated. Using a magnesiothermic reduction method, a research team from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) removed oxygen atoms from the surface of titanium dioxide (TiO2), synthesizing an oxygen-deficient Ti02. The photocatalytic activity was investigated for
