Abstract

A method of forming methanol by irradiating a mixture comprising water, carbon dioxide, and a photocatalyst with UV light to photo-catalytically reduce the carbon dioxide thereby forming methanol, wherein the photocatalyst comprises non-templated indium-oxide nanoparticles and/or templated indium-oxide nanoparticles. Various combinations of the embodiments of the templated indium-oxide nanoparticles and the non-templated indium-oxide nanoparticles photocatalyst as well as the method of forming methanol are provided.
