Fabrication of Flexible Mesoporous Black Nb2O5 Nanofiber Films for Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction into CH4

Xi Lin et al.

Summary: This study reports a facile nanofiber synthesis method for fabricating flexible mesoporous black Nb2O5 nanofiber catalysts, which exhibit high selectivity and conversion efficiency in visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CH4. The catalysts contain abundant oxygen-vacancies and unsaturated Nb dual-sites, which enhance light absorption and CO2 adsorption, leading to the spontaneous conversion of CO* into *CHO. These catalysts achieve a selectivity of 64.8% for CH4 production with a high evolution rate under visible-light, without the use of sacrificial agents and photosensitizers. The flexible catalyst films also demonstrate promising applications in devices.
