Gold-nanoparticles (Au-NPs) incorporated TiO2-nanowires (TiO2-NWs) of controlled sizes prepared via hydrothermal and chemical reduction method have been investigated for CO2 photoreduction with H2 under visible light irradiations. The nanocatalysts have been characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, N2 adso...
