One-step synthesis of visible light CO2 reduction photocatalyst from carbon nanotubes encapsulating iodine molecules

Abstract We describe the synthesis and visible-light CO2 photoreduction catalytic properties of a three-component composite consisting of AgI, AgIO3, and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The catalyst is synthesized by immersing SWCNTs encapsulating iodine molecules in AgNO3 aqueous solution,...
