  • PHOTOCATALYTIC CONVERSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER INTO HYDROCARBONS
    Publication number: 20240149247
    Abstract: The present invention relates to photocatalytic materials for use in the conversion of CO2 to non-CO2 carbon containing products. The photocatalytic materials comprise a metal nanofiber and a carbon-based nanostructure bound to the surface of the metal nanofiber. Methods for preparing such materials are described, as well as their use in the conversion of CO2 to non-CO2 carbon containing products. For example, the photocatalytic materials of the invention may be used to convert CO2 to methanol and/or ethanol with high conversion rates.
