1. A method of reducing carbon dioxide, comprising:
contacting a catalyst and the carbon dioxide; and
irradiating the catalyst and the carbon dioxide with visible light,
wherein on the irradiating the carbon dioxide is reduced to a conversion product,
wherein the catalyst comprises Fe2TiO5,
wherein particles of the Fe2TiO5 are in a form of nanosheets,
wherein the nanosheets have an average width of 200-800 nm, and
wherein the nanosheets form a hierarchical structure of two or more of the nanosheets stacked on top of one another.
