Abstract

With the development of modernization process, Massive combustion of fossil fuels not only causes heavy load of carbon dioxide emission in the air, but also causes the worry about the exhausted of future energy resource. By using reduction of carbon dioxide can solve both these problems. Of the various methods used for reducing carbon dioxide, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction is more environmentally friendly. In this article, the author begins by outlining the functions and difficulty points of carbon dioxide to methane reduction, then introduce the characteristics introduce how the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to synthesize CH4 works.Moreover, certain characteristics and more recent developments in the field of photocatalysts of reducing CO2 into CH4, such as TiO2 based photocatalysts, vanadium based photocatalysts and Tungsten based photocatalytic materials and their doping, co-doping, surface modification or nano-structure technology will be presented.The author of this paper additionally concludes with some potential directions for photocatalyst development.
