Abstract

Cu-TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ noble-metal-free ternary hybrid catalyst was fabricated for visible light photocatalytic conversion of CO₂ to methane. It was found that the photocatalytic performance of the catalyst is strongly dependent on its Cu dispersion and content. The NaBH₄ in-situ reduction of the catalyst could generate desirable Cu coating and heterojunction construction. Furthermore, the optimized Cu content is 2.5 wt%, which exhibited the excellent production rates of CH₄(23.88 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹) and H2 (2.27 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹).
