Methanol Artificial Photosynthesis Using Iron Doped TiO2

초록

Green/biobased biofuels derived from renewable resources are in the area special interest recently. In this paper methanol artificial photosynthesis using Iron doped TiO2 powder is reported. Methanol was fabricated in simple photocatalytic reactor under 300W tungsten halogen lamp irradiation. Photocatalyst was dispersed in water, CO2 gas was applied under different flow rate at continuous mechanical stirring. The optimum methanol yield condition (amount of catalyst, pH, TiO2 particle size, stirring speed) was found. Iron doped TiO2 performed good selectivity for methanol photosynthesis. Experimental results showed that, Iron doped TiO2 is much more effective for methanol photosynthesis than bare TiO2.
