Abstract

Photocatalytic CO$_2$ reduction in the liquid phase at neutral pH conditions has been studied employing high surface area Mn-modified cubic CeO$_2$ and amorphous ZrO$_2$ catalysts. Results of the photocatalytic reduction of CO$_2$ to methane are promising on Mn-modified ZrO$_2$ and comparable with the noble metal-based photocatalysts. The surface area of both supports CeO$_2$ and ZrO$_2$ increased with Mn addition. Two broad diffraction peaks in X-ray diffractograms indicate that the ZrO$_2$ support is in the amorphous phase and Mn addition showed no considerable change. High intense diffraction peaks for CeO$_2$ support illustrated the cubic fluorite phase and Mn addition to CeO$_2$ support decreased the crystallite size due to the incorporation of Mn ions into the CeO$_2$ lattice. XPS study revealed the stabilization of Mn in a lower oxidation state i.e., Mn$^{2+}$ and Mn$^{3+}$, with ZrO$_2$ support than with CeO$_2$ support. The superior specific capacitance of the Mn-modified ZrO$_2$ catalyst indicates the enhanced synergy of active Mn species and support. Among the studied catalysts, Mn-modified ZrO$_2$ photocatalyst exhibited the highest activity and selectivity for photoreduction of CO$_2$ to methane and CO.
