Imparting an enhanced CO2 reduction selectivity to ZnGa2O4 photocatalysts has been demonstrated by controlled crystallization from interdispersed nanoparticles of zinc and gallium hydroxides. The hydroxide precursor in which Zn(ii) and Ga(iii) are homogeneously interdispersed was prepared through an epoxide-driven sol-gel reaction. ZnGa2O4 obtained by a heat-treatment exhibits a higher surface basicity and an enhanced affinity for CO2 molecules than previously-reported standard ZnGa2O4. The enhanced affinity for CO2 molecules of the resultant ZnGa2O4 leads to highly-selective CO evolution in CO2 photo-reduction with H2O reductants. The present scheme is promising to achieve desirable surface chemistry on metal oxide photocatalysts.
