Methane‐producing hollow nanocubes : Hybrid CuO‐TiO 2− x N x hollow nanocubes have been synthesized by first depositing TiO 2 onto Cu 3 N nanocube templates, then heating in air to oxidize the Cu 3 N to CuO while concomitantly incorporating nitrogen into the TiO 2 . The nanostructured CuO‐TiO 2− x N x material photocatalytically converts CO 2 into methane under solar irradiation.
