Bifunctional Au@UiO-67-bpy-Cu Plasmonic Nanostructures for the Solar-Driven CO2 Reduction to Methanol (Adv. Energy Mater. 45/2024)

Abstract

CO₂ Reduction

UiO-67-bpy metal-organic frameworks act as platforms to combine plasmonic nanoparticles and metallic centers in a hybrid structure that efficiently transforms CO₂ into methanol under visible light. The high catalytic performance is ascribed to the generation of hot carriers by intrabands transitions of gold nanoparticles together with the excitation of the bpy-copper complex.
