The experimental results of testing with different irradiation power are compared and used as a basis for the feasibility assessment and conceptual design of a photoreforming reactor. The highest H2 productivity (0.276 mol H2/h kgcat) was achieved with 1 g/L of 1 wt% Au/TiO2 P25 catalyst by using a 113 W/m2 UVA irradiation. Insufficient...

The photoreduction of CO2 is an intriguing process which allows the synthesis of fuels and chemicals. One of the limitations for CO2 photoreduction in the liquid phase is its low solubility in water. This point has been here addressed by designing a fully innovative pressurized photoreactor, allowing operation up to 20 bar and applied to...

The continuous increase in scientific reports concerning photocatalysis and in particular CO 2 photoreduction in recent years reveals the high degree of interest around the topic. However, the adsorption and activation mechanisms of CO 2 on TiO 2 , the most used photocatalyst, are poorly understood and investigated. Gold nanoparticles were...
