Nafion layer-enhanced photosynthetic conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbons on TiO2 nanoparticles

Introducing a thin Nafion layer on Pd-deposited TiO2 nanoparticles markedly enhances the photosynthetic conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons (mainly methane and ethane) in an aqueous suspension (without any sacrificial electron donor) under UV and solar irradiation conditions.
