Sumario:A new hybrid photo-catalyst based on ZSM-5 zeolite suitable for reduction of carbon dioxide was synthesized. The photo-catalyst was prepared by oxidative polymerization of thiophene with FeCl(3) in the presence of ZSM-5 with participation of ultrasound. The synthesized photo-catalyst strongly absorbs light radiation up to approx. 650 nm, with the absorption edge in the NIR region. Reactive radicals were generated by VIS light irradiation in an aqueous suspension consisting of the photo-catalyst with CO(2). Formic acid and acetic acid were generated as the main products of the CO(2) reduction. EPR spin trapping technique was applied to identify the reactive radical intermediates. In this work, the mechanism of product formation is also discussed.
