Abstract

Photocatalytic activity in the reduction of CO2 with H2O to CH4 was significantly enhanced by simply adding MgO to TiO2 loaded with Pt. A positive correlation between CH4 formation activity and basicity was observed. The interface between TiO2, Pt and MgO in the trinary nanocomposite played a crucial role in CO2 photocatalytic reduction.
