Abstract:
The increase in atmospheric CO₂ and the depletion of fossil fuels have generated concern about their climate and energy impact. Photocatalytic conversion of CO₂ with modified titania is a promising way to mitigate these effects. In this work, titania in anatase phase has been synthesized with controlled nanoparticles and functionalized with APTES to improve its efficiency in photocatalytic reduction. Despite the advances achieved, the results indicate the need to refine the experimental parameters to improve the functionalization and stability of the material, thus consolidating a basis for future research
