Highly Efficient Photocatalytic CO2-to-CO Conversion Catalyzed by a Surface Ligand-Removed and Cd-Rich CdSe Quantum Dots.

A surface ligand-removed and Cd-rich CdSe quantum dots as a sole photocatalyst exhibits exceptional activity on CO2-to-CO conversion. The CO production rate up to 789 mmol g-1 h-1 was achieved in TEA/DMF mixture solution under visible light irradiation. Mechanism studies revealed that improving Cd/Se stoichiometric ratio and exposing more active surface Cd atom significantly enhance activity of CdSe QDs on CO2 photoreduction.
