A purely inorganic germanium–molybdenum–oxo cluster with ruthenium participation for visible-light-driven CO₂ reduction

Abstract

A new ruthenium-containing polyoxometalate was used for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The yields of CH 4 and CO reached 91.31 μmol g −1 h −1 and 11.85 μmol g −1 h −1 , respectively. Meanwhile, the electron selectivity of CH 4 was up to 96.84%.
