A nanowire-like WSe2-graphene catalyst was prepared via ultra-sonication and was tested in terms of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into CH3OH under irradiation with UV/visible light. The prepared nano-composite was further characterized via XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman and XPS. The photocurrent analysis was further tested for its photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using gas chromatography (GCMS-QP2010 SE). To further improve the the photo-catalytic efficiency, a sacrificial agent (Na2S/Na2SO3) was added to the WSe2-graphene nanocomposite and was found to improve the photo-catalytic efficiency, with the methanol yield reaching 5.0278 µmol g−1h−1. Our present work provides a convenient way to prepare nanomaterials various morphologies that have future applications for environmental remediation.

In the present work, we report the development of a WSe2-Graphene-TiO2 ternary nanocomposite via ultrasonic techniques and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. The band-gap of the WSe2-Graphene-TiO2 was estimated to be about 1.62 eV which is suitable for photodegradation process under under ultraviolet UV/Visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic potential of nanocomposites is investigated for CO2 reduction to CH3OH. WSe2-G-TiO2 with an optimum loading of graphene of 8 wt% showed the high photoactivity, gaining a total CH3OH yield of 6.3262 µmol g-1 h-1 after 48 h. This excellent photoreduction activity is owing to the progressive synergistic relation between WSe2/TiO2 and graphene components in our heterogeneous system.
