The Use of SnO2 and TiO2 as Photocatalysts to Compare Against Chloroplast for the CO2 Reduction Process
The research team is experimenting with using tin oxide as a photocatalyst to find the most efficient product to work with through the CO2 reduction process. The team will compare the tin oxide product’s performance to chloroplast through the carbon dioxide reduction process for places in areas that are unsuitable for plant growth.
