title: Photo-induced reduction of CO2 using a magnetically separable Ru-CoPc@TiO2@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst under visible light irradiation.
abstract: An efficient photo-induced reduction of CO2 using magnetically separable Ru-CoPc@TiO2@SiO2@Fe3O4 as a heterogeneous catalyst in which CoPc and Ru(bpy)2phene complexes were attached to a solid support via covalent attachment under visible light is described. The as-synthesized catalyst was characterized by a series of techniques including FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, TEM, etc. and subsequently tested for the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide using triethylamine as a sacrificial donor and water as a reaction medium. The developed photocatalyst exhibited a significantly higher catalytic activity to give a methanol yield of 2570.78 μmol per g cat after 48 h.
