Hybrid CuO-TiO sub(2-x)N sub(x) Hollow Nanocubes for Photocatalytic Conversion of CO sub(2) into Methane under Solar Irradiation

Methane-producing hollow nanocubes: Hybrid CuO-TiO sub(2-x)N sub(x) hollow nanocubes have been synthesized by first depositing TiO sub(2) onto Cu sub(3)N nanocube templates, then heating in air to oxidize the Cu sub(3)N to CuO while concomitantly incorporating nitrogen into the TiO sub(2). The nanos...

Zusammenfassung:Methane-producing hollow nanocubes: Hybrid CuO-TiO sub(2-x)N sub(x) hollow nanocubes have been synthesized by first depositing TiO sub(2) onto Cu sub(3)N nanocube templates, then heating in air to oxidize the Cu sub(3)N to CuO while concomitantly incorporating nitrogen into the TiO sub(2). The nanostructured CuO-TiO sub(2-x)N sub(x) material photocatalytically converts CO sub(2) into methane under solar irradiation.
