DESCRIPTION
The team led by Professor In Soo-Il in the Department of Energy Engineering at DGIST has developed a high-efficiency photocatalyst capable of converting carbon dioxide (CO2), a major contributor to global warming, into the energy resource methane. The research team optimized the composition of nanoparticle co-catalysts and ruthenium doping to maximize the optical and electrical properties of the photocatalyst.
