Abstract
Photocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine loaded on titania (CoPc/titania) has been prepared by an advanced sol-gel method with titanium tetrabutoxide as precursor, to extend the optical absorption of TiO2 from UV to visible region. Carbon dioxide is reduced to HCOOH, CH3OH, HCHO, CO and CH4 in caustic solution under visible light irradiation and photocatalyzed by CoPc/titania. The total yield of the photocatalytic products can reach 406.65 μmol/g(cat.) after 10 hours of irradiation, and the main product, HCOOH can reach 355.82 μmol/g(cat.).
