Table 13. List of Some Important Examples of Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction Using GO-Based Photocatalysts.

GO-based entity Preparation method Photocatalytic efficiency Refs
Ag/TiO2/rGO Hummers method Graphene increased the reaction efficiency to 9.4- and 3.3-fold as compared to TiO2 and Ag/TiO2. (199)
Cu2O/rGO Microwave-assisted chemical method rGO coating increased the activity to nearly 6 times that of Cu2O and to 50 times that of Cu2O/RuOx. (198)
rod-like TiO2–rGO composites Freeze-drying and hydrothermal method TiO2–rGO showed CO2 conversion efficiency of 21.38 μmol/g which is 15.7-fold that of pure P25. (36)
CsPbBr3 QD/GO Precipitation method GO enhanced the electron consumption rate. (37)
Ag2CrO4/g-C3N4/GO Precipitation method To facilitate charge separation, GO functions as an electron acceptor and has a CO2 conversion efficiency of 1.03 μmol/g. (38)
N-doped GO reduced titania - N-doped GO-reduced titania exhibited an efficiency of 252.0 mmol/g toward conversion of CO2 to CH4. (201)
ZnO/N-doped rGO Hydrothermal method The composite exhibited a methanol production rate of 1.51 μmol/g/h. (202)
rGO@CuZnO@Fe3O4 Hydrothermal method Photoreduction efficiency for CO2 reduction is 2656 μmol/g. (203)
Cs4PbBr6/rGO Precipitation method The production efficiency of CO from CO2 was found to be 11.4 μmol/g/h. (204)
Ag–rGO–CdS Solvothermal followed by thermal reduction and photodeposition The photocatalyst exhibited successful conversion of CO2 to CO. (205)
rGO–TiO2 Solvothermal method The intimate contact between TiO2 and rGO accelerated transfer of electrons to inhibit charge recombination and exhibited a photocatalytic efficiency of 0.135 μmol/g/h toward reduction of CO2. (206)
