TI  - Continuous Photocatalytic Reduction of CO(2) Using Nanoporous Reduced Graphene 
      Oxide (RGO)/Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) as Catalyst on Porous Anodic Alumina 
      (PAA)/Aluminum Support.

AB  - Solar conversion of CO(2), using a photocatalyst in the presence of water, has 
      attained considerable attention due to added value of the process in terms of 
      both reduction of an environmental pollutant and production of valuable synthetic 
      chemicals. Room temperature fabrication of porous anodic alumina (PAA), for 
      sufficiently low time, facilitates the synthesis of self-withstanding PAA with a 
      middle layer of aluminum. Nanoporous reduced graphene oxide (RGO), deposited on 
      the pore walls of PAA, with subsequent deposition of cadmium sulfide (CdS) as 
      photocatalyst over it, and efficiently enhances the photocatalytic reduction of 
      CO(2). Morphological, structural and optical characterizations of the catalyst are 
      executed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray powder 
      diffraction (XRD), electron dispersive X-spectroscopy (EDX) and UV-Vis absorption 
      spectroscopy methods. Continuous photocatalytic reduction of CO(2) was carried out 
      using flat sheet reactors and a compound parabola as the solar reflector. 
      Semiconducting CdS nanorods, grown over PAA support with conducting RGO, show 
      enhanced photocatalytic reduction of CO(2) to 153.8 mumol/g/hr of CH(3)OH with higher 
      photocatalytic stability than CdS alone.
