Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Green Chemistry</bold>. Photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ is an exciting reaction system with the ability to convert an abundant greenhouse gas to combustible hydrocarbon fuels using sunlight. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 13502 ff.</ext-link>, S. Cronin et al. describe a robust and reliable method for improving the photocatalytic performance of InP, which is one of the best known materials for solar photoconversion. Substantial improvements (up to 18×) in the photocatalytic yields for CO₂ reduction to CO through the surface passivation of InP with TiO₂ deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) are reported.<graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2n15tp5v" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
