T
he development of facile and robust photo-catalyst to
establish the photo-catalytic CO
2
reduction in industrial
scale would considerably reduce the amount of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere and as a renewable source of
industrially valuable compounds like methanol, formic acid
and other hydrocarbon compounds.
Ti-based compounds including TiO
2
remains to be the most
robust photo-catalyst for CO
2
reduction with two main
drawbacks: poor selectivity and high activation energy [1].
Incorporation of vanadiumwith titanium in ternary metal oxides
considerably narrows the band gap energy from 3.2 eV for pure
TiO
2
up to 1.7 eV for Ti-V-O ternary oxide with the increase of
vanadium content, making the ternary oxide visible light active
[2]. Ti-based MOFs are an ideal class of materials to apply as
a catalyst for the range of photo-catalytic processes including
the photo-reduction of CO
2
[3]. Introduction of Ti into MOF may
allow to tune the photo-responsive properties and selectivity
of titanium and enhance other properties of the catalyst as
the porosity and stability by changing the organic counterpart.
Herein we report on TixVyOz and new type Ti-MOF composites
and their photo-catalytic properties. The obtained composites
were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, BET and TGA. The
CO
2
conversion rate was also studied by changing reaction
parameters such as UV wavelengths, gas flow rate, etc.
