Abstract

Methane-producing hollow nanocubes: Hybrid CuO-TiO _2-xN _x hollow nanocubes have been synthesized by first depositing TiO ₂ onto Cu ₃N nanocube templates, then heating in air to oxidize the Cu ₃N to CuO while concomitantly incorporating nitrogen into the TiO ₂. The nanostructured CuO-TiO _2-xN _x material photocatalytically converts CO ₂ into methane under solar irradiation.
