NATURE COMMUNICATIONS (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02547-4, 2018)
Carbon-doped SnS2 (SnS2-C) metal dichalcogenide nanostructure has been synthesized using a hydrothermal technique, which exhibits a highly active and selective photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons under visible-light, attaining a photochemical quantum efficiency of above 0.7%. The SnS2 -C photocatalyst represents an important contribution towards high quantum efficiency artificial photosynthesis based on gas phase photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light.
