Facile synthesis of highly active reduced graphene oxide-CuI catalyst through a simple combustion method for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol

A facile reduced graphene oxide（rGO）/ CuI nanoparticles complexes hybrid material was prepared by a naked flame. This method can be simple and rapid preparation of composite materials which exhibit excellent catalytic performance. It is not only can improve the light absorption but also can be highly efficient reduction of CO2 to methanol in visible light. So the rGO-CuI composite will find potential applications as catalysts in organic photosynthetic reaction.213
