Methane production via photocatalytic degradation of glucose on PtO<sub>x</sub> and PdO<sub>x</sub>-loaded TiO<sub>2</sub>.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sustainable production of CH4, an industrially important gas, from renewable resources presents a critical solution to energy security challenges. This study demonstrates photocatalytic conversion of glucose, a model biomass compound, to CH4 using a metal co-catalyst loaded TiO2 photocatalyst under ambient conditions. We confirmed that CH4 was formed through photocatalytic reduction of CO2, which was generated in situ during glucose oxidation, establishing a closed-loop conversion of biomass-derived carbon within a single reaction system. PtOx-TiO2 (x = 0, 1) exhibited significantly higher activity for CH4 production than PdOx-TiO2 (x = 0, 1). The CH4 yield with PtO
