Gold-nanoparticle-modified TiO2 nanowires for plasmon-enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction with H2 under visible light irradiation

Posted on December 29, 2017 by teckhoe93

Abstract: Gold-nanoparticles (Au-NPs) incorporated TiO2-nanowires (TiO2-NWs) of controlled sizes prepared via hydrothermal and chemical reduction method have been investigated for CO2 photoreduction with H2 under visible light irradiations. The nanocatalysts have been characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, XPS, UV–vis and PL … Continue reading →

Photocatalytic conversion and kinetic study of CO2 and CH4 over nitrogen-doped titania nanotube arrays

Posted on December 29, 2017 by teckhoe93

Abstract: The performance of highly ordered nitrogen-doped titania (TiO2) nanotube arrays, fabricated by anodization method, was tested for photocatalytic CO2 conversion with CH4. Nitrogen-doped titania nanotube arrays were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy … Continue reading →
