Rh/InGaNO nanoarchitecture for light-driven methane reforming with carbon dioxide toward syngas.

Light-driven dry reforming of methane toward syngas presents a proper solution for alleviating climate change and for the sustainable supply of transportation fuels and chemicals. Herein, Rh/InGaNO nanowires supported by silicon wafer are explored as an ideal platform for loading Rh nanoparticles, thus assembling a new nanoarchitecture for this grand topic. In combination with the remarkable photo-thermal synergy, the O atoms in Rh/InGaNO can significantly lower the apparent activation energy of dry reforming of methane from 2.
