Selective CO₂ reduction to HCOOH on a Pt/In₂O₃/g-C₃N₄ multifunctional visible-photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Selective photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ has been regarded as one of the most amazing ways for re-using CO₂. However, its application is still limited by the low CO₂ conversion efficiency. This work developed a novel Pt/In₂O₃/g-C₃N₄ multifunctional catalyst, which exhibited high activity and selectivity to HCOOH during photocatalytic CO₂ reduction under visible light irradiation owing to the synergistic effect between photocatalyst, thermocatalyst, and heterojunctions. Both In₂O₃ and g-C₃N₄ acted as visible photocatalysts, in which porous g-C₃N₄ facilitated H₂ production from water splitting while the In₂O₃
