Photoinduced dry and bireforming of methane to fuels over la-modified tio2 in fixed-bed and monolith reactors

A systematic investigation on the performance of fixed-bed and monolithic reactors for dynamic photoinduced CO2 reduction with CH4 via dry and bi-reforming of methane over La-modified TiO2 nanocatalyst under UV light is conducted. La/TiO2 is synthesized using a modified sol–gel method, and the monol...
