Description
Summary:A CuO/TiO 2 hybrid heterostructure was successfully engineered from copper metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using a two-step process involving solvothermal synthesis and calcination. By precisely controlling the CuO loading, this synergistic composite exhibited exceptional performance in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Notably, AI-assisted continuous flow experimentation achieved a record-breaking methanol production rate of 2.3 mol g −1 h −1 without the need for sacrificial agents. An AI-assisted continuous flow reactor for CO 2 reduction to methanol using a MOF-derived CuO/TiO 2 photocatalyst.
