Perovskite Hydroxide CoSn(OH)(6) Nanocubes for Efficient Photoreduction of CO2 to CO

• Perovskite hydroxide CoSn(OH)(6) nanoparticles were synthesized and used for the first time in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. Under mild reaction conditions and using [Ru(bpy)(3)](PF6)(2) as the photosensitizer, a high photocatalytic efficiency of 19.3 mu mol for CO evolution with a high selectivity of 86.46% was obtained. The photocatalytic TEOA activity and CO selectivity were further improved by adding weak Bronsted acids, as proton sources, to the system.
