These nanocomposites were prepared using different combination of solvents viz., ethanol, water, and ethylene glycol at 180 A degrees C for 24 h. The synthesized nanocomposites were analyzed with various characterization techniques. Structural analysis indicates the formation of tetragonal phase of SnO2 for the sample prepared in ethanol, whereas for other solvent combinations, the mixture of SnO and SnO2 having tetragonal crystal structures were observed. The optical study shows enhanced absorbance in the visible region for all the prepared SnO/SnO2 nanocomposites. The observed band gap was found to be in the range of 3.0 to 3.25 eV. Microstructural determinations confirm the formation of nanostructures having spherical as well as rod-like morphology. The size of nanoparticles in ethanol-mediated solvent was found to be in the range of 5 to 7 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis indicate the weight gain around 1.3 wt% confirming the conversion of SnO to SnO2 material. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized nanocomposites was evaluated by following the aqueous methylene blue (MB) degradation. The sample prepared in ethylene glycol-mediated solvent showed highest photoactivity having apparent rate constant (K-app) 0.62 x 10(-2) min(-1).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.509</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yadav, Poonam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Santosh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velankanni, Nandhakumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuehne, Thomas D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gosavi, Suresh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raghupathy, Ramya Kormath Madam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhosale, Reshma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Held, Georg</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shelke, Manjusha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ogale, Satishchandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to syngas using nickel phosphide-loaded CdS under visible light irradiation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physics-Energy</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CdS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CO2 reduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photocatalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Syngas</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">transition metal phosphides</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2024</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">025019</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is a sustainable pathway to produce syngas (H-2 + CO), which is a key feedstock for the production of several important liquid fuels on the industrial scale. However, achieving an appropriate tunable ratio of H-2:CO in syngas for commercial purposes is a challenging task. In this work, we present a low-cost and non-noble metal, phosphide-based co-catalyst-Ni2P-loaded cadmium sulfide (CdS) photocatalyst system, for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. As a co-catalyst, Ni2P fosters an efficient charge separation of photoexcited charges generated in the CdS production of syngas. In total, 3 wt.% Ni2P/CdS exhibited exceptional performance of 50.6 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) in the CO evolution rate and 115 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) in the H-2 evolution rate, with a syngas composition varying from 2 to 4 in the H-2:CO ratio. Furthermore, first-principles density functional theory calculations were performed to study the surface energetics of the catalyst system and the results are found to be consistent with our experimental findings. Indeed, they establish that the composite favors CO2 photoreduction into syngas more efficiently than pure surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
