This study involves the development of novel mesoporous Zr-MCM-48 photocatalyst impregnated with Cu-porphyrin (CuTPP) having Si/Zr ratio of 100, 50 and 25. The synthesized materials were applied as hybrid photocatalyst affording mid-gap energy states and Zi3+ sites for reduction of CO2 into methanol...
