Abstract
Herein, we have specifically designed two metalated porous organic polymers (Zn-POP and Co-POP) for syngas (CO+H2 ) production from gaseous CO2 . The variable H2 /CO ratio of syngas with the highest efficiency was produced in water medium (without an organic hole scavenger and photosensitizer) by utilizing the basic principle of Lewis acid/base chemistry. Also, we observed the formation of entirely different major products during photocatalytic CO2 reduction and water splitting with the help of the two catalysts, where CO (145.65 μmol g-1 h-1 ) and H2 (434.7 μmol g-1 h-1 ) production were preferentially obtained over Co-POP & Zn-POP, respectively. The higher electron density/better Lewis basic nature of Co-POP was investigated further using XPS, XANES, and NH3 -TPD studies, which considerably improve CO2 activation capacity. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship was confirmed via in situ DRIFTS and DFT studies, which demonstrated the formation of COOH* intermediate along with the thermodynamic feasibility of CO2 reduction over Co-POP while water splitting occurred preferentially over Zn-POP.

Photocatalytic CO2 Conversion Using Metal-Containing Coordination Polymers and Networks: Recent Developments in Material Design and Mechanistic Details. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14142778. [PMID: 35890553 PMCID: PMC9318416 DOI: 10.3390/polym14142778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
International guidelines have progressively addressed global warming which is caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect originates from the atmosphere’s gases which trap sunlight which, as a consequence, causes an increase in global surface temperature. Carbon dioxide is one of these greenhouse gases and is mainly produced by anthropogenic emissions. The urgency of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to reduce the greenhouse effect has initiated the development of methods to covert carbon dioxide into valuable products. One approach that was developed is the photocatalytic transformation of CO2. Photocatalysis addresses environmental issues by transferring CO2 into value added chemicals by mimicking the natural photosynthesis process. During this process, the photocatalytic system is excited by light energy. CO2 is adsorbed at the catalytic metal centers where it is subsequently reduced. To overcome several obstacles for achieving an efficient photocatalytic reduction process, the use of metal-containing polymers as photocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction is highlighted in this review. The attention of this manuscript is directed towards recent advances in material design and mechanistic details of the process using different polymeric materials and photocatalysts.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2202960.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction can be implemented to use CO2 , a greenhouse gas, as a resource in an energy-saving and environmentally friendly way, in which suitable catalytic materials are required to achieve high-efficiency catalysis. Insufficient accessible active sites on the catalyst surface and inhibited electron transfer severely limit the photocatalytic performance. Therefore, porous aerogels are constructed from composites comprising different ratios of Ni-Co bimetallic hydroxide (Nix Coy ) grown on reduced graphene oxide (GR) into a hierarchical nanosheet-array structure using a facile in situ growth method. Detailed characterization shows that this structure exposes numerous active sites for enhanced adsorption-induced photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Moreover, under the synergistic effect of Ni-Co bimetallic hydroxide, the CO2 adsorption capacity as well as charge-carrier separation and transfer are excellent. As a result, the Ni7 Co3 -GR catalyst exhibits highly improved catalytic performance when compared with recently reported values, with a high CO release rate of 941.5 µmol h-1 g-1 and a selectivity of 96.3% during the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 . This work demonstrates a new strategy for designing nanocomposites with abundant active sites structures.
