An efficient and stable photocatalytic activity was obtained over NaTaO3 by introducing electron donor (H2) into the CO2 reduction process with water and loaded Ru as cocatalysts. The main effect of the electron donor was found to release the peroxide intermediates of the half reaction for water oxidation.

The efficient reduction of CO2 into valuable products such as methanol, over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based catalyst, has received much attention. The photocatalytic reduction is considered the most economical method due to the utilization of solar energy. In this study, Copper (II)/Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (Cu/ZIF-8) catalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The host ZIF-8, treated with 2 mmol copper prepared in 2M ammonium hydroxide solution showed the highest photocatalytic activity. The crystal structures of ZIF-8 and 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalysts were observed as cubic and orthorhombic, respectively and the XPS analysis confirmed the deposition of Cu (II) ions over ZIF-8 surface among all the prepared catalysts. The orthorhombic structure, nano-sized crystals, morphology and Cu loading of the 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalyst were the core factors to influence the photocatalytic activity. The yield of Methanol was found to be 35.82 µmol/L·g after 6 h of irradiations on 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalyst in the wavelength range between 530–580 nm. The copper-based ZIF-8 catalyst has proven as an alternative approach for the economical photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH3OH.

In this paper, we prepared a polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene (PVA-Co-PE) composite nanofiber membrane catalyst decorated by Fe-MOFs/SiC and completed the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 performance. The results show that the CO2 conversion rate of composite film materials under visible light irradiation is increased by 31 times compared with powdered Fe-MOFs/SiC materials. Through SEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, DRS and other characterization methods, the influencing factors of the photocatalytic CO2 reduction process of the composite nanofiber membrane were investigated. The synergistic effect of Fe-MOFs/SiC and nanofiber membrane photocatalysis is beneficial to electron-hole pairs. The effective separation and strong absorption in the visible light region make it exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction.
