Iron-copper bimetallic photo-Fenton system promoted photothermal-hydrogen peroxide production for efficient low-temperature wastewater treatment. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 677:882-895. [PMID: 39173520 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
Enhancing the velocity of the oxidation-reduction cycle is crucial for improving the catalytic efficiency of Fenton processes. Therefore, the development of an effective strategy for wastewater degradation at low temperatures is essential. In this context, we present the preparation of an NH2-MIL-88B (Fe)/CuInS2 S-scheme heterojunction. Specifically, CuInS2 nanoparticles are introduced onto the Ferro-organic skeleton, resulting in the exposure of a significant number of active surface sites. Furthermore, NH2-MIL-88B (Fe)/CuInS2 demonstrates an extended photoresponse into the long-wavelength region, which contributes to its excellent photothermal properties. Notably, the degradation rate of tetracycline in low-temperature aqueous environments reaches as high as 99.7 %, several times higher than that of the original sample. Additionally, the hydrogen production of NH2-MIL-88B (Fe)/CuInS2 is 2.23 times that of single NH2-MIL-88B (Fe) and 3.46 times that of single CuInS2. Moreover, the system exhibits good H2O2 evolution performance, forming an efficient photo-Fenton system. The charge transfer process in S-scheme heterojunction is confirmed using in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance. Both transient photoluminescence and photo electrochemical tests further validate the enhanced photoelectrochemical properties of the NH2-MIL-88B (Fe)/CuInS2 S-scheme heterojunction. The exceptional performance of this system can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the S-scheme heterojunction and the bimetallic codoped photo-Fenton system. This research presents a novel approach for the breakdown of low-temperature wastewater using an improved photocatalytic Fenton system.

Abstract
The escalating threat of environmental issues to both nature and humanity over the past two decades underscores the urgency of addressing environmental pollutants. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly promising materials for tackling these challenges. Since their rise in popularity, extensive research has been conducted on MOFs, spanning from design and synthesis to a wide array of applications, such as environmental remediation, gas storage and separation, catalysis, sensors, biomedical and drug delivery systems, energy storage and conversion, and optoelectronic devices, etc. MOFs possess a multitude of advantageous properties such as large specific surface area, tunable porosity, diverse pore structures, multi-channel design, and molecular sieve capabilities, etc., making them particularly attractive for environmental applications. MOF-based composites inherit the excellent properties of MOFs and also exhibit unique physicochemical properties and structures. The tailoring of central coordinated metal ions in MOFs is critical for their adaptability in environmental applications. Although many reviews on monometallic, bimetallic, and polymetallic MOFs have been published, few reviews focusing on MOF-based composites with monometallic, bimetallic, and multi-metallic centers in the context of environmental pollutant treatment have been reported. This review addresses this gap by providing an in-depth overview of the recent progress in MOF-based composites, emphasizing their applications in hazardous gas sensing, electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA), and pollutant degradation in both aqueous and atmospheric environments and highlighting the importance of the number and type of metal centers present. Additionally, the various categories of MOFs are summarized. MOF-based composites demonstrate significant promise in addressing environmental challenges, and this review provides a clear and valuable perspective on their potential in environmental applications.

Abstract
The design of efficient catalysts for photocatalytic CO2 conversion is of great importance for the sustainable development of society. Herein, three polyoxometalate (POM)-based crystalline materials were formulated prepared by substituting transition metals and adjusting solvent acidity with 2-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazole (pyim) as the light-trapping ligand, namely {[SiW12O40][Co(pyim)2]2}·2C2H5OH (SiW12Co2), {[SiW12O40][Ni(pyim)2]2}·2C2H5OH (SiW12Ni2), and {[SiW12O40][Mn(pyim)2]2}·2C2H5OH (SiW12Mn2). X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis indicates that the three complexes exhibit isostructural properties, and form a stable one-dimensional chain structure stabilized by two [M(pyim)2]22+ (M = Co, Ni, and Mn) fragments serving as dual-nodes to the adjacent SiW12 units. A comprehensive analysis of the structural characterization and photocatalytic CO2 reduction properties is presented. Under light irradiation, SiW12Co2 exhibited a remarkable CO generation rate of 10 733 μmol g-1 h-1 with a turnover number of 328, outperforming most of the reported heterogeneous POM-based photocatalysts. Besides, cycling tests revealed that SiW12Co2 is an efficient and stable photocatalyst with great recyclability for at least four successive runs. This study proves that the successful incorporation of diverse transition metals into the POM anion could facilitate the development of highly efficient photocatalysts for the CO2RR.

Abstract
The dilemma between the thickness and accessible active site triggers the design of porous crystalline materials with mono-layered structure for advanced photo-catalysis applications. Here, a kind of sub-nanometer mono-layered nanosheets (Co-MOF MNSs) through the exfoliation of specifically designed Co3 cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. The sub-nanometer thickness and inherent light-sensitivity endow Co-MOF MNSs with fully exposed Janus Co3 sites that can selectively photo-reduce CO2 into formic acid under simulated flue gas. Notably, the production efficiency of formic acid by Co-MOF MNSs (0.85 mmol g-1 h-1) is ≈13 times higher than that of the bulk counterpart (0.065 mmol g-1 h-1) under a simulated flue gas atmosphere, which is the highest in reported works up to date. Theoretical calculations prove that the exposed Janus Co3 sites with simultaneously available sites possess higher activity when compared with single Co site, validating the importance of mono-layered nanosheet morphology. These results may facilitate the development of functional nanosheet materials for CO2 photo-reduction in potential flue gas treatment.

Abstract
The photocatalytic CO2 reduction strategy driven by visible light is a practical way to solve the energy crisis. However, limited by the fast recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in photocatalysts, photocatalytic efficiency is still low. Herein, a WO3/BiOBr S-scheme heterojunction was formed by combining WO3 with BiOBr, which facilitated the transfer and separation of photoinduced electrons and holes and enhanced the photocatalytic CO2 reaction. The optimized WO3/BiOBr heterostructures exhibited best activity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction without any sacrificial reagents, and the CO yield reached 17.14 μmol g-1 after reaction for 4 h, which was 1.56 times greater than that of BiOBr. The photocatalytic stability of WO3/BiOBr was also improved.

Abstract
The efficiency of CO2 photocatalytic reduction is severely limited by inefficient separation and sluggish transfer. In this study, spin polarization was induced and built-in electric field was strengthened via Co doping in the BiVO4 cell to boost photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Results showed that owing to the generation of spin-polarized electrons upon Co doping, carrier separation and photocurrent production of the Co-doped BiVO4 were enhanced. CO production during CO2 photocatalytic reduction from the Co-BiVO4 was 61.6 times of the BiVO4. Notably, application of an external magnetic field (100 mT) further boosted photocatalytic CO2 reduction from the Co-BiVO4, with 68.25 folds improvement of CO production compared to pristine BiVO4. The existence of a built-in electric field (IEF) was demonstrated through density functional theory (DFT) simulations and kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Mechanism insights could be elucidated as follows: doping of magnetic Co into the BiVO4 resulted in increased the number of spin-polarized photo-excited carriers, and application of a magnetic field led to an augmentation of intrinsic electric field due to a dipole shift, thereby extending carrier lifetime and suppressing charges recombination. Additionally, HCOO- was a crucial intermediate in the process of CO2RR, and possible pathways for CO2 reduction were proposed. This study highlights the significance of built-in electric fields and the important role of spin polarization for promotion of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
In the face of the growing energy crisis and environmental challenges, substantial efforts are now directed toward sustainable clean energy as a replacement for traditional fossil fuels. CO2 photoreduction into value-added chemicals and fuels is widely recognized as a promising approach to mitigate current energy and environmental concerns. Photocatalysts comprising single atoms (SAs) supported on two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials (SAs-2DSemi) have emerged as a novel frontier due to the combined merits of SA catalysts and 2D materials. In this study, we review advancements in metal SAs confined on 2DSemi substrates, categorized into four groups: (1) metal oxide-based, (2) g-C3N4-based, (3) emerging, and (4) hybridized 2DSemi, for photocatalytic CO2 conversion over the past few years. With a particular focus on highlighting the distinct advantages of SAs-2DSemi, we delve into the synthesis of state-of-the-art catalysts, their catalytic performances, and mechanistic elucidation facilitated by experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations. Following this, we outline the challenges in this field and offer perspectives on harnessing the potential of SAs-2DSemi as promising photocatalysts. This comprehensive review aims to provide valuable insights for the future development of 2D photocatalytic materials involving SAs for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Exploring the real force that drives the separation of Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs in the interface of heterojunction photocatalysts can establish a clear mechanism for efficient solar energy conversion efficiency. Herein, the formation of oxygen vacancy (Ov) and isolated Ti3+ was precisely regulated at the interface of g-C3N4/TiO2 Z-scheme heterojunction (g-C3N4/Ov-Ti3+-TiO2) by optimizing the opening degree of the calcination system, showing excellent production rate of CO and CH4 from CO2 photoreduction under visible light. This photocatalytic system also exhibited prominent stability. Combining theoretical calculation and characterization, the introduction of Ov and isolated Ti3+ on the interface could construct a charge transfer channel to break the forbidden transition of n → π*, improving the separation process of photoexcited electron-hole pairs. The photoexcited electrons weakened the covalent interaction of CO bonds to promote the activation of adsorbed inert CO2 molecules, significantly reducing the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step during CO2 reduction. This work demonstrates the great application potential of reasonably regulating heterojunction interface for efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with ultrathin 2D structure have attracted remarkable attention in photocatalytic application owing to the accessibility of abundant active sites on the surface. But high charge recombination results in poor photocatalytic activity. Herein, the synthesis of ultrathin MIL-125(Ti) nanosheets is reported with a thickness of 1.3 nm through a simple chemical reaction route of precursor solution aging and subsequent solvothermal process for photocatalytic CO2 production. The maximal CO evolution rate achieves 200.8 µmol g-1 h-1, which is prominently higher than that (78.6 µmol g-1 h-1) of the bulk MIL-125(Ti) counterpart. Furthermore, the structurally stable Zn (II) tetracarboxy phthalocyanine (ZnTcPc) molecules assembly on ultrathin MIL-125(Ti) nanosheet (NS) to form MIL-125(Ti) NS\ZnTcPc S-scheme heterojunction through the strong interaction between the Ti3+ in MIL-125(Ti) and the COOH in ZnTcPc. The introduction of ZnTcPc greatly extends light absorption range and increases charge separation rate. The experimental and density functional theory calculation results validate that the MIL-125(Ti) NS\ZnTcPc S-scheme heterojunction can favor CO2 adsorption and effectively depress the formation energy of the intermediates, achieving a high CO evolution rate of 450.8 µmol g-1 h-1. This work provides a strategy of engineering 2D MOF-based heterostructure systems for photocatalytic application.

Abstract
Conventional strategies for highly efficient and selective CO2 photoreduction focus on the design of catalysts and cocatalysts. In this study, we discover that hydrogen bond network breakdown in reaction system can suppress H2 evolution, thereby improving CO2 photoreduction performance. Photosensitive poly(ionic liquid)s are designed as photocatalysts owing to their strong hydrogen bonding with solvents. The hydrogen bond strength is tuned by solvent composition, thereby effectively regulating H2 evolution (from 0 to 12.6 mmol g-1 h-1). No H2 is detected after hydrogen bond network breakdown with trichloromethane or tetrachloromethane as additives. CO production rate and selectivity increase to 35.4 mmol g-1 h-1 and 98.9 % with trichloromethane, compared with 0.6 mmol g-1 h-1 and 26.2 %, respectively, without trichloromethane. Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations confirm that trichloromethane broke the systemic hydrogen bond network and subsequently suppressed H2 evolution. This hydrogen bond network breakdown strategy may be extended to other catalytic reactions involving H2 evolution.

Abstract
We report a solvothermal method for the synthesis of an oxygen vacancy-enriched ZrO2 photocatalyst with Co single atoms and Ni clusters immobilized on the surface. This catalyst presents superior performance for the reduction of CO2 in H2O vapor, with a CO yield reaching 663.84 μmol g-1 h-1 and a selectivity of 99.52%. The total solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency is up to 0.372‰, which is among the highest reported values. The success, on one hand, depends on the Co single atoms and Ni clusters for both extended spectrum absorption and serving as dual-active centers for CO2 reduction and H2O dissociation, respectively; on the other hand, this is attributed to the enhanced photoelectric and thermal effect induced by concentrated solar irradiation. We demonstrate that an intermediate impurity state is formed by the hybridization of the d-orbital of single-atom Co with the molecular orbital of H2O, enabling visible-light-driven excitation over the catalyst. In addition, Ni clusters play a crucial role in altering the adsorption configuration of CO2, with the localized surface plasmon resonance effect enhancing the activation and dissociation of CO2 induced by visible-near-infrared light. This study provides valuable insights into the synergistic effect of the dual cocatalyst toward both efficient photothermal coupling and surface redox reactions for solar CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The synthesis of cyclic carbonates through cycloaddition reactions between epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important industrial process. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have functional and ordered pore structures, making them attractive catalysts for converting gas molecules into valuable products. One approach to enhance the catalytic activity of MOFs in CO2 cycloaddition reactions is to create open metal sites within MOFs. In this study, the amino-functionalized rare earth Gd-MOF (Gd-TPTC-NH2) and its ionic liquid composite catalysts (Gd-TPTC-NH-[BMIM]Br) were synthesized using 2'-amino-[1,1':4',1''-terphenyl]-3,3'',5,5''-tetracarboxylic acid (H4TPTC-NH2) as the ligand. The catalytic performance of these two catalysts was observed in the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 and epoxides. Under the optimized reaction conditions, Gd-TPTC-NH-[BMIM]Br can effectively catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of a variety of epoxide substrates with good to excellent yields of cyclic carbonate products. Comparatively, epichlorohydrin and epibromohydrin, which possess halogen substituents, promote higher yields of cyclic carbonates due to the electron-withdrawing nature of Cl and Br substituents. Additionally, the Gd-TPTC-NH-[BMIM]Br catalyst demonstrated good recyclability and reproducibility, maintaining its catalytic activity without any changes in its structure or properties after five reuse cycles.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising metal-free photocatalyst; however, its high carrier recombination rate and insufficient redox capacity limit its degradation effect on antibiotics. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the photocatalytic activity is improved by regulating the spin polarization state, constructing the internal electric field, and applying the external piezoelectric field. In this paper, the chlorine-doped and nitrogen-deficient porous carbon nitride composite carbon quantum dots (Nv-Cl/UPCN@CQD) has been synthesized successfully. The doping position of chlorine and spin polarization properties are verified by DFT calculation. The key intermediates *O2- and *OOH for the synthesis of reactive oxygen species were detected by in-situ infrared testing, which promotes the production of •O2- and H2O2. The degradation rate constant of Nv-Cl/UPCN@CQD for removal of tetracycline is 8.45 times higher than that of g-C3N4. The active oxygen production and degradation efficiency of piezoelectric photocatalysis under the synergistic effect of intense stirring and vis-light irradiation are much higher than those of photocatalysis and piezoelectric catalysis, and the conversion of H2O2 to •OH is promoted by piezoelectric field. This paper provides a reliable way to improve the performance of piezoelectric photocatalysts by adjusting their energy band, electronic structure and piezoelectric force.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to energy carriers is intriguing in the industry but kinetically hard to fulfil due to the lack of rationally designed catalysts. A promising way to improve the efficiency and selectivity of such reduction is to break the structural symmetry of catalysts by manipulating coordination. Here, inspired by analogous CoO6 and CoSe6 octahedral structural motifs of the Co(OH)2 and CoSe, a hetero-anionic coordination strategy is proposed to construct a symmetry-breaking photocatalyst prototype of oxygen-deficient Se-doped cobalt hydroxide upon first-principles calculations. Such involvement of large-size Se atoms in CoO6 octahedral frameworks experimentally lead to the switching of semiconductor type of cobalt hydroxide from p to n, generation of oxygen defects, and amorphization. The resultant oxygen-deficient Se,O-coordinated Co-based amorphous nanosheets exhibit impressive photocatalytic performance of CO2 to CO with a generation rate of 60.7 µmol g-1 h-1 in the absence of photosensitizer and scavenger, superior to most of the Co-based photocatalysts. This work establishes a correlation between the symmetry-breaking of catalytic sites and CO2 photoreduction performances, opening up a new paradigm in the design of amorphous photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel category of porous crystalline materials with an exceptionally high surface area and adjustable pore structure. They possess a designable composition and can be easily functionalized with different units. Porphyrins with conjugated tetrapyrrole macrocyclic structures can absorb light from ultraviolet to visible light regions, and their structures and properties can be facilely regulated by altering their peripheral groups or central metal ions. Porphyrin-based MOFs constructed from porphyrin ligands and metal nodes combine the unique features of porphyrins and MOFs as well as overcoming their respective limitations. This paper reviewed the design and construction, light absorption and charge transfer pathways, and strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of porphyrin-based MOFs, and highlighted the recent progress in the field of CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, organic synthesis, organic pollutant removal, and nitrogen fixation. The intrinsic relationships between the structure and the property of porphyrin-based MOFs received special attention, especially the relationships between the arrangements of porphyrin ligands and metal nods and the charge transfer mechanism. We attempted to provide more valuable information for the design and construction of advanced photocatalysts in the future. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of the porphyrin-based MOFs are also discussed.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrin compounds have excellent electron transfer and visible light absorption ability, demonstrating broad application prospects in the field of photocatalysis. In this work, the nitrogen vacancies (NVs) were successfully introduced into zinc porphyrin (ZnTCPP) ultrathin nanosheets through surface N2 plasma treatment, which is environmentally friendly and can react in low temperatures. Furthermore, the prepared nitrogen vacancies-zinc porphyrin (NVs-ZnTCPP) materials exhibited excellent photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity and selectivity, specifically, the CO production rate of ZnTCPP-1 (N2 plasma treatment, 1 min) achieved as high as 12.5 µmol g-1h-1, which is about 2.7 times greater than that of untreated ZnTCPP. Based on the experimental and density functional theory calculation (DFT) results, it is found that the promoted photocatalytic performance of NVs-ZnTCPP could be mainly attributed to nitrogen vacancy-induced spin polarization by reducing the reaction barriers and inhibiting the recombination of photoexcited carriers. This work provides a new perspective for the construction of vacancy-based metalloporphyrin, and further explores the intrinsic mechanism between the electron spin property and the performance of the photocatalyst.

Abstract
Halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most prospective candidates for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, but their photocatalytic performances are far from satisfactory due to structural instability and severe charge recombination. In this study, we demonstrated a CsPbBr3 QDs/In2O3 hierarchical nanotube (CPB/IO) for efficient CO2 conversion, in which CsPbBr3 QDs were well-dispersed on the In-MOF-derived In2O3 nanotube by a facile self-assembly process. The optimized CPB/IO catalyst displayed an enhanced photocatalytic CO2 performance with a (CO + CH4) generation rate of 16.37 μmol·g-1·h-1 upon simulated solar illumination without a photosensitizer and sacrificial agent, which is 3.59 times stronger than that of pristine CsPbBr3 QDs (4.56 μmol·g-1·h-1). Besides, the modified CsPbBr3 QD catalyst exhibited an obvious increase of CH4 selectivity and excellent stability after four cycles. The unique zero-dimensional (0D)/one-dimensional (1D) heterostructure and matching band potentials between CsPbBr3 and In2O3 supply an intimate interfacial contact, numerous active sites, and effective charge transfer for CO2 photoreduction. This work can inspire the formation of novel halide-perovskite-involving photocatalysts for solar fuel formation.

[PMID: 37564699 PMCID: PMC10410522 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Simultaneous photocatalytic biorefinery and CO2 reduction to co-produce fuels and high value-added chemicals have recently attracted significant attention; however, comprehensive studies are still lacking. Herein, we report the preparation of highly crystalline oxygen-doped carbon nitride nanotubes (O-CNNTs-x) using an ammonium fluoride-assisted hydrothermal/calcination strategy. The hollow structure, high crystallinity, and O incorporation endowed the O-CNNTs-x with photocatalytic activity by considerably improving optical absorption and modulating the charge carrier motion. The lactic acid yield and CO evolution rate over O-CNNTs-2.0 reached 82.08% and 67.95 μmol g-1 h-1, which are 1.57- and 7.37-fold times higher than those of CN, respectively. Moreover, ·OH plays a key role in the oxidation half-reaction. This study offers a facile approach for fabricating highly crystalline element-doped CN with a customizable morphology and electronic properties and demonstrates the viability of co-photocatalytic CO2 reduction and biomass selective oxidation.

Abstract
Solar-driven CO2 conversion into valuable fuels is a promising strategy to alleviate the energy and environmental issues. However, inefficient charge separation and transfer greatly limits the photocatalytic CO2 reduction efficiency. Herein, single-atom Pt anchored on 3D hierarchical TiO2 -Ti3 C2 with atomic-scale interface engineering is successfully synthesized through an in situ transformation and photoreduction method. The in situ growth of TiO2 on Ti3 C2 nanosheets can not only provide interfacial driving force for the charge transport, but also create an atomic-level charge transfer channel for directional electron migration. Moreover, the single-atom Pt anchored on TiO2 or Ti3 C2 can effectively capture the photogenerated electrons through the atomic interfacial PtO bond with shortened charge migration distance, and simultaneously serve as active sites for CO2 adsorption and activation. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the atomic interface engineering of single-atom Pt and interfacial TiOTi, the optimized photocatalyst exhibits excellent CO2 -to-CO conversion activity of 20.5 µmol g-1 h-1 with a selectivity of 96%, which is five times that of commercial TiO2 (P25). This work sheds new light on designing ideal atomic-scale interface and single-atom catalysts for efficient solar fuel conversation.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2300398.

Abstract
Encapsulating photogenerated charge-hopping nodes and space transport bridges within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising method of boosting the photocatalytic performance. Herein, this work embeds electron transfer media (9,10-bis(4-pyridyl)anthracene (BPAN)) in MOF cavities to build multi-level electron transfer paths. The MOF cavities are accurately regulated to investigate the significance of the multi-level electron transfer paths in the process of CO2 photoreduction by evaluating the difference in the number of guest media. The prepared MOFs, {[Co(BPAN)(1,4-dicarboxybenzene)(H2 O)2 ]·BPAN·2H2 O} and {[Co(BPAN)2 (4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid)2 (H2 O)2 ]·2BPAN·2H2 O} (denoted as BPAN-Co-1 and BPAN-Co-2), exhibit efficient visible-light-driven CO2 conversion properties. The CO photoreduction efficacy of BPAN-Co-2 (5598 µmol g-1 h-1 ) is superior to that of most reported MOF-based catalysts. In addition, the enhanced CO2 photoreduction ability is supported by density functional theory (DFT). This work illustrates the feasibility of realizing charge separation characteristics in MOF catalysts at the molecular level, and provides new insight for designing high-performance MOFs for artificial photosynthesis.
