Abstract

The surface species arising during the photoreduction of carbon dioxide with methane over zirconium oxide is observed by infrared spectroscopy. Two definite species have been expected to exist on the surface during the photoreaction. One has been supposed to be a reaction intermediate and decomposed to CO at around 623 K, and the other has not been decomposed even at 673 K which should be a carbonaceous residue. From the ...
