title: The Rational Design of a Single-Component Photocatalyst for Gas-Phase CO2Reduction Using Both UV and Visible Light.
abstract: The solar-to-chemical energy conversion of greenhouse gas CO2into carbon-based fuelsis a very important research challenge, with implications for both climate change and energy security. Herein, the key attributes of hydroxides and oxygen vacancies are experimentally identified in non-stoichiometric indium oxide nanoparticles, In2O3-x(OH)y, that function in concert to reduce CO2to CO under simulated solar irradiation.
