Sustained CO2-photoreduction activity and high selectivity over Mn, C-codoped ZnO core-triple shell hollow spheres

Abstract

Photoreduction of CO2 into energy-rich products is a sustainable solution to lessen the global energy and environmental crisis. Here the authors show that Mn ions in Mn, C-codoped ZnO hollow spheres function as “ionized cocatalyst” to promote the CO2 adsorption and light harvesting to boost the CO2 photoreduction activity.
