Rare earth doped TiO2 catalysts for CO2 photocatalytic reduction

TiO2 nanometer photocatalysts doped with rare earth were prepared by sol-gel method and were used for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in water. The catalysts were characterized by XRD technology. The effects of rare earth ion doping and calcination temperature on photocatalytic activity of the catalysts were investigated. The results showed that the addition of rare earth La and Ce could effectively inhibit phase transformation of TiO2 and enhanced the photocatalytic performance ; the catalyst calcined at 800 ℃ exhibited the best catalytic activity. Methanol yield of 315.49 p.mol · g-1 was attained under the optimal reaction condition as follows：reaction time 7 h, CO2 flow rate 200 mL ·min- 1, and both concentration of NaOH and NaESO3 0.10 mol · L-1. The mechanism of CO2 photoeatalytic reduction on TiO2 catalyst doped with rare earth was put forward.
