Abstract
A characterization of Ti-Beta zeolites synthesized under various conditions as well as an investigation of their photocatalytic properties for the reduction of CO_2 with H_2O at 323 K to produce CH_4 and CH_3OH were carried out. In situ XAFS spectra measurements indicated that a highly dispersed tetrahedral titanium oxide species was present in the zeolite framework and an increase in the coordination number of the titanium oxide species by the addition of H_2O and CO_2 molecules could be detected. The Ti-Beta zeolite having a hydrophilic property (Ti-Beta(OH)) exhibited a more dramatic increase in the coordination number than the Ti-Beta(F) zeolite which had a hydrophobic property. These results suggest that CO_2 and H_2O molecules can be adsorbed efficiently onto the highly dispersed tetrahedrally coordinated titanium oxide species. UV irradiation of these Ti-Beta zeolite catalysts in the presence of H_2O and CO_2 led to the formation of CH_4 and CH_3OH. Ti-Beta(OH) exhibited a higher reactivity than Ti-Beta(F), while the selectivity for the formation of CH_3OH on Ti-Beta(F) was higher than that for Ti-Beta(OH). These results indicated that the reactivity and selectivity of the zeolite catalyst can be determined by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the zeolites.
