Nanostructured forms of stoichiometric In2O3 are proving to be efficacious catalysts for the gas-phase hydrogenation CO2. These conversions can facilitated using either heat or light; however, until now, limited optical absorption intensity evidenced by pale-yellow color has prevented use both together. To take advantage and light content solar energy, it would advantageous make indium oxide black. Herein, we present a synthetic route tune pitch black controlling its degree...
The surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) on defect-laden metal oxides provide catalytic sites to activate H2 and CO2 molecules enable efficient gas-phase photocatalysis. Lattice engineering of provides a useful strategy tailor the reactivity SFLPs.

Herein, all of these problems solved with the discovery that Cu supported on ultrathin TiO nanosheets can photocatalytically reduce an aqueous solution CO. The recycled a straightforward procedure when become oxidatively deactivated. This advance...
