High-pressure synthesis of rGO/TiO2 and rGO/TiO2/Cu catalysts for efficient CO2 reduction under solar light

This work reports the synthesis of rGO/TiO2/Cu and rGO/TiO2 nanocomposites to obtain methane and CO from CO2 photoreduction with water vapour and simulated solar light. A novel, facile and efficient one-pot method is proposed to directly synthesize the composites in supercritical CO2-ethanol medium.
