Photothermal catalytic CO2hydrogenation to CH3OH with renewable H2is a promising method to convert solar energy into chemical energy. However, it is still impeded by limited CO2conversion efficiency and poor CH3OH selectivity under mild conditions. Herein, we report a Ru/In2O3catalyst for efficient and stable photothermal CH3OH production from CO2hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure. The Ru/In2O3catalyst delivers a remarkable solar CH3OH production of 280.4 μmol g-1h-1, which is ∼50 times higher than that of pure In2O3under the same conditions and surpasses by far reported In2O3-based photothermal catalysts. Detailed characterizations demonstrate that the synergy of photothermal heating effect and hot-carriers-induced activation of reactants on Ru together with the interaction between Ru and In2O3enhances the activation of CO2and H2. Moreover, Ru modulates the electronic structure of In2O3and promotes the generation of oxygen vacancies, which is favorable for the hydrogenation process to form CH3OH. This work paves a way for the rational design of efficient catalysts for solar CH3OH production from CO2hydrogenation under mild conditions.
