Abstract:This study explores photocatalytic conversion of CO2 using TiO2‐Cu heterojunctions with different Cu contents and investigates influence of different reaction media on the process efficiency. The use of KOH favored liquid products, especially ethanol. An analysis of H2 production as the main competitive reaction was done. Sodium oxalate led to an increase in H2 evolution by approximately 600 µmol g‐1 compared to pure water, in the presence of CO2 in the reaction medium, but the blank test (without CO2) indicat… Show more
