Simple Synthesis of AgI Nanophotocatalyst with Potato-LikeArchitecture Self-Assembled from Spherical ۰D Particles:Photocatalytic CO۲ Reduction to Fuel under Simulated Sunlight

The AgI nanophotocatalyst with Potato-Like Architecture Self-Assembled from Spherical ۰DParticles has been synthesized by precipitation method in order to solid/liquid phase photocatalyticreduction of CO۲ under the irradiation of simulated sunlight. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emissionscanning electron microscope (FESEM) and ۳D texture analyses performed to evaluated crystalline andstructural properties of the synthesized photocatalyst. According to photoreduction test among thea allproducts, which could produce in this process, only methanol with production rate of ۱۰۷.۹ μmol/gcatalystover the ۸ hours was detected.
