In this work, we report a novel strategy to promote the industrial methanol production from CO 2 hydrogenation at low pressure (12 bar) over a Pd/ZnO catalyst via introducing light irradiation into a modified continuous‐flow fixed‐bed reactor. The methanol yield was significantly enhanced by a photothermal synergistic effect and visible light was confirmed as the major contributor (>90 %) due to the localized surface plasmon resonance of Pd.
