- Artificial photosynthesis driven by inorganic photocatalysts offers a promising route to renewable solar fuels production, however efficient CO2 photoreduction remains a challenge. In this work, a family of hierarchical nanocomposites, have been synthesized from titania (P25) and Co-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) components, using a one-pot synthesis. Hierarchical P25@CoAl-LDH nanocomposites are active for aqueous CO2 photoreduction without sacrificial hole acceptors. This work represents a simple and cost-effective strategy for the design and development of LDH-based nanomaterials for efficient photocatalysis of renewable solar fuel production from CO2 and water; facilitating a shift to carbon-neutral, nature inspired technologies.
