CO2 Conversion

In order to combat climate change and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels, it is crucial to convert CO₂ through a catalytic process into clean fuels and chemicals. Hydrogen is created from water using renewable energy. For a sustainable future, it is crucial to find methods for converting CO₂ into other valuable chemical compounds, which can then be converted back into CO₂ using renewable energy sources. Because it has the potential to decrease CO₂ by utilising solar energy and biomethane, photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ with methane (abbreviated as PRCM) to create synthesis gas (CO and H2) has caught our interest. Gallium oxide was recently shown to be capable of promoting the PRCM when exposed to UV light at room temperature.
