The solar-to-chemical energy conversion of CO₂ into carbon-based fuels is an important research challenge. We identify surface hydroxides and oxygen vacancies on indium oxide nanoparticles, In₂O_3-x(OH)_y, as beneficial for CO₂ reduction to CO under simulated solar irradiation. This advance provides insight towards the design of single-component gas-phase CO₂ reduction photocatalysts.
