I am doing synthesis of methanol by CO2 reduction using photo-catalyst and my target is to get only Methanol with high selectivity. How to make a high selectivity for the synthesis only methanol not other products? I am using the photo-catalyst form as Noble metal NPs-TiO2/SBA-15
You should perform your photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiments in liquid phase. With more OH ions present in liquid medium, probability of generating CH3OH is enhanced.

Thank you dear Professor it will be very helpful for my future experiments about CO2 reduction
Hi, I would like to refer following article for better understanding of photocatalytic selective conversion of CO2 to CH3OH.

The reduction of photocatalytic CO2 experiments should be carried out in liquid phase. Basicity ans acidity of solution can affect the responses.
