研究目的
To investigate the photocatalytic activity of Co3O4 nanostructures for the reduction of aqueous CO2 to methanol under simulated solar light without sacrificial agents.
研究成果
Co3O4 nanostructures demonstrated photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction to methanol under simulated solar light, representing a novel application. The materials were successfully synthesized and characterized, with methanol being the only detected product. The study provides a foundation for further research into artificial photosynthesis using abundant and stable catalysts.
研究不足
The experiments were conducted under specific conditions (room temperature, atmospheric pressure, no sacrificial agents); small amounts of products were detected, limiting quantitative analysis; long-term stability and scalability were not fully assessed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing Co3O4 nanostructures via two methods (precipitation and gel-combustion), characterizing them using various techniques, and testing their photocatalytic activity in CO2 reduction under simulated solar light.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Co3O4 powders were prepared and used as catalysts; CO2-saturated water was the reaction medium.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included Bruker D2-Phaser diffractometer, EZRaman-N Raman analyzer, PerkinElmer FT-IR spectrometer, Varian Cary 5E spectrophotometer, JEOL TEM and SEM microscopes, VSM magnetometer, Quantacore Nova 2000 BET analyzer, XPS spectrometer, Osram XBO 150 W xenon lamp, Thorlabs photodiode, Agilent 6890 GC. Materials included CoCl2·6H2O, ethylene glycol, Na2CO3, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, glycine, HNO3, CO2 gas.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of Co3O4-NPs and Co3O4-P-NS, characterization, photocatalytic reaction in Schlenk vessel with CO2 bubbling, irradiation for 6 hours, gas collection and analysis by GC.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data analyzed using PXRD for crystallite size (Scherrer equation), UV-vis for band gaps (Tauc plot), GC for product identification.
