Photocatalytic CO2 reduction represents a sustainable route to generate syngas (the mixture of CO and H2 ), which is a key feedstock to produce liquid fuels in industry. Yet this reaction typically suffers from two limitations: unsuitable CO/H2 ratio and serious charge recombination. This paper describes the production of syngas from photocatalytic CO2 reduction with tunable CO/H2 ratio via adjustment of component and surface structure of CuPt alloys and construction of a TiO2 mesoporous hollow sphere with spatially separated cocatalysts to promote charge separation.
