Recently, TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) have attracted researcher’s attention in the fields of energy production and environmental remediation applications; this is mainly due to their unique optoelectronic characteristics, corrosion resistance, chemical and mechanical stability. In this study, the ability of employing of TiO2 nanotube arrays-based catalysts in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction has been investigated. Possible modification strategies have been presented for improving the TNTAs performance by using different types of nanomaterials including graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4), metal-organic frame work (MOF), reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The TNTAs composites were characterized using XRD and FESEM analyses and the results revealed the successful synthesis of these composites. The TNTAs and their composites exhibited good results for the photo-conversion of CO2 into CH4 gas product. This study gives new ideas for making and developing low-cost Ti metal-based nanomaterials which can be used in the future for recycling the CO2 gas emissions into useful solar fuels.
