The Rational Design of a Single‐Component Photocatalyst for Gas‐Phase CO(2) Reduction Using Both UV and Visible Light

The solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion of greenhouse gas CO(2) into carbon‐based fuels is a very important research challenge, with implications for both climate change and energy security. Herein, the key attributes of hydroxides and oxygen vacancies are experimentally identified in non‐stoichiome...

Sumario:The solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion of greenhouse gas CO(2) into carbon‐based fuels is a very important research challenge, with implications for both climate change and energy security. Herein, the key attributes of hydroxides and oxygen vacancies are experimentally identified in non‐stoichiometric indium oxide nanoparticles, In(2)O(3‐x)(OH)(y), that function in concert to reduce CO(2) to CO under simulated solar irradiation.
