To improve the catalytic activity of the photothermal CO₂ hydrogenation In₂O₃ catalyst, a Mg(OH)₂-In(OH)₃ precursor was prepared by the homogeneous hydrothermal method, and a Mg-doped In₂O_3-x (Mg-In₂O_3-x) catalyst enriched with oxygen vacancies was obtained by the following high-temperature calcination and H₂-reducing treatment. The catalyst was evaluated for its photothermal catalytic performance of CO₂ hydrogenation in a photothermal fixed -bed reactor. The results demonstrated that Mg-In₂O_3-x achieved an impressive CO₂ conversion rate of 31.20% with a CO production rate of 14.22 mmol·g_cat^-1·h^-1 and selectivity of 100% in the light reaction at 300 ℃. The characterization results confirmed that the Mg doping into the In₂O₃ lattice promotes the formation of more surface oxygen vacancies, which dramatically increases the response efficiency to visible light and slows down the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole. This is the main reason for the enhancement of the photothermal catalytic performance.
