The reduction of carbon dioxide to methane in the presence of water was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of a prepared strontium metaborate catalyst. The strontium metaborate (SrB₂O₄) was prepared by a simple sol-gel method, and was shown to exhibit better photocatalytic performance than TiO₂ (P25) under UV-light irradiation. The structure, morphology, and energy levels of the photocatalysts were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy. It was revealed that the SrB₂O₄ valence band (VB) was located at 2.07 V (vs normal hydrogen electrode, NHE), which is more positive than E_redox^o (H₂O/H⁺) (0.82 V (vs NHE)); the conduction band was estimated to be -1.47 V (vs NHE)), which is more negative than E_redox^o (CO₂/CH₄) (-0.24 V (vs NHE)). Therefore, it is clear that strontium metaborate is capable of transforming CO₂ into CH₄. Moreover, the potential at the bottom of the conduction band for SrB₂O₄ is more negative than that for TiO₂(P25), leading to a higher deoxidization capacity, which also favors CH₄ formation. Thus, SrB₂O₄ exhibits a higher photocatalytic activity than TiO₂(P25).
