I'm doing research on photoreduction of CO2 to methanol under room temperature. Can somebody help me on how to study the kinetic of this kind of heterogeneous photocatalytic reaction?
Thank you for your respond John George Hardy...but I still did not get the answer for my problem...Most of the journal are discussing kinetic on gas phase reaction..my research is about in aqueous system..Firstly, I have to dissolve CO2 in the NaOH solution..and carbonate ion and carbonic acid will be formed..This carbonate ion and carbonic acid will go through redox reaction and convert to methanol...So, how can I study the kinetic of this reaction?
Look at the kinetics of methanol formation. If you find methanol in your system, you may submit your data for publication in the "Nature"
Yurii V Geletii....i'm asking about to study the kinetic because i found methanol in my system...tq
I have no idea to study the kinetics for photocatalytic reaction since the reaction is conducting in room temperature only..Before this, I had experience in conducting experiment on catalytic reaction in varied temperature, so that I can study the kinetic by study the activation energy and kinetic rate constant..
I don't have any ideas about your system and experimental setup. Therefore, I would only recommend to look at the effect of light power and stirring rate to determine what controls the the rate of methanol formation.
