Graphical Abstract

Selective photoreduction of CO₂ to CH₄, with a CH₄ selectivity of 100 %, is achieved on a CdS/Pt/In₂O₃ photocatalyst. Electronic Pt−In₂O₃ interactions are beneficial for charge separation and CO₂ conversion to CO₂^δ−, which can be easily hydrogenated into CH₄. The enhancement effect of electronic Pt-(metal-oxide) interactions on selective photoreduction of CO₂ to CH₄ may extend to other common Pt/(metal-oxide)-based photocatalysts.

Abstract

By supporting platinum (Pt) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles on indium oxide (In₂O₃), we fabricated a CdS/Pt/In₂O₃ photocatalyst. Selective photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to methane (CH₄) was achieved on CdS/Pt/In₂O₃ with electronic Pt−In₂O₃ interactions, with CH₄ selectivity reaching to 100 %, which is higher than that on CdS/Pt/In₂O₃ without electronic Pt−In₂O₃ interactions (71.7 %). Moreover, the enhancement effect of electronic Pt-(metal-oxide) interactions on selective photoreduction of CO₂ to CH₄ also occurs by using other common metal oxides, such as photocatalyst supports, including titanium oxide, gallium oxide, zinc oxide, and tungsten oxide. The electronic Pt-(metal-oxide) interactions separate photogenerated electron-hole pairs and convert CO₂ into CO₂^δ−, which can be easily hydrogenated into CH₄ via a CO₂^δ−→HCOO*→HCO*→CH*→CH₄ path, thus boosting selective photoreduction of CO₂ to CH₄. This offers a new way to achieve selective photoreduction of CO₂.
