Summary: This study evaluates the applications of Eu(III)-doped ZnGa2O4 nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods hybridized with ZGO for photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction. The results show that ZGO has a higher CO/CH3OH production ratio in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, while ZGO/ZnONR has a lower ratio.

The self-doping extended the light absorption range and the one-dimensional nanotube structure promoted electron transport and separation efficiency, while miniaturization reduced mass transfer resistance. Upgrading light intensity and vanadium ion concentration could further improve photocurrent density and vanadium ion conversion rate.
