Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to fuels and chemicals is a promising pathway towards carbon resource recovery. Herein, three isomorphic Fe-porphyrinic MOFs, Zr6O4(OH)4(Fe-TCPP)3 (MOF-525, Fe-TCPP = iron 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin), Zr6O4(OH)4(Fe-TCPP-NO2)3 (MOF-525-NO2, Fe-TCPP-NO2 = iron 5,10,15,20-tetra(2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin), and Zr6O4(OH)4(Fe-TCBPP-NO2)3 (MOF-526-NO2, Fe-TCBPP-NO2 = iron 5,10,15,20-tetra[4-(4′-carboxyphenyl)-2-nitrophenyl]-porphyrin) were synthesized and employed as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Among them, MOF-525-NO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity with CO and H2 yields of 10.36 and 0.46 mmol·g−1 without any photosensitizer under visible light. Mechanism investigations suggested that the micro-environments of these MOFs were adjusted by introducing porphyrinic fragments with different lengths and functional groups, resulting in stronger CO2 affinity, faster photocurrent response, and efficient photogenerated electron-hole separation and transfer, which finally promoted the efficiency for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
