Abstract

Photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO ₂ into valuable products can provide energy in a sustainable way with leveling off of the concentration of CO ₂ in our environment. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) incorporated with copper ferrite (CuFe ₂ O ₄ ) has been employed to enhance photoelectrocatalytic CO ₂ reduction under visible light. The TEM and XPS characterization indicated a strong interaction between the CuFe ₂ O ₄ and GO in the hybrid catalyst. The GO incorporation reduced the e ^- /h ⁺ recombination in the hybrid catalyst by trapping the photoexcited electrons from CuFe ₂ O ₄ leading to high methanol yield of 28.8 μmol L ^-1 cm ^-2 at 20.5% quantum efficiency. The incident photon current efficiency (IPCE) and Faradaic efficiency for methanol formation were observed as 8.02% and 87%, respectively. The results showed that the photoelectrocatalytic activity for CO ₂ reduction can be improved by incorporating GO with CuFe ₂ O ₄ , and it provides a universal platform to fabricate GO-CuFe ₂ O ₄ based hybrid photocatalyst with promising applications in CO ₂ reduction.
