- Description
- In this paper, a brief study on the effect of non-thermal plasma generated with argon carrier on material properties and photo-catalytic reduction behavior of TiO2 is presented. Commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles (20 nm size) were subjected to Ar cold plasma at different time durations. Then the plasma treated materials were explored for chemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane (CH4) using sunlight as photo-irradiation source. The results show that the non-thermal plasma affects the material properties of TiO2 such as UV-visible absorption, XRD patterns and Raman scattering significantly and also the enhancement of CH4 yields in CO2photo-chemical reduction. 2020 American Institute of Physics Inc..
