A porous rhodium(III)-porphyrin metal-organic framework as an efficient and selective photocatalyst for CO2 reduction

Strongly visible light-absorbing metal–organic frameworks functionalized by cyclometalated ruthenium(ii) complexes

“…36 When the complexes are incorporated into MOFs, these transitions could lead to electron transfer into the MOF structures via the carboxylate groups, as proposed for other photosensitizer-MOF systems in previous reports. 32,33,[64][65][66][67][68][69] This would be benecial if the MOFs were to be used as photocatalysts for reactions such as photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.…”

Long‐Term Photostability in Terephthalate Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…Particularly, in the context of solar fuel production, the combination of suitable amino substituted organic linkers and mixed metal nodes has resulted in photocatalysts with notable activities that could be further improved in the coming years by adequate MOF design . One particular case where MOFs have shown promising photocatalytic activity is for the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction upon solar light irradiation . Photocatalytic solar light utilization could be one of the possible key processes to develop sunlight‐based renewable energy in the future, leading to a decrease of atmospheric CO 2 emissions …”

Recent Advances in Metal–Organic Frameworks for Photo‐/Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction

“…The excellent performance can be ascribed to the unique flowerlike structures with high surface area, which also shorten the energy-transferp ath and facilitate its charget ransfer.L ately,S ua nd Zhang constructed a porousR h-based MOF (Rh-PMOF-1(Zr)) with Rh(TCPP)Cl, aR hbased Cw ith boosted ability of visible-light harvesting. [35] The reducedi ntensityo fp hotoluminescence emission implies that the introduction of the Rh-moieties inhibits the recombination of photoexcited electron and holes pairs, further prolonging the states of the electron-hole separation. Also, it produced 6.1 mmol HCOO À with as uperbs electivity of 99 %, higher than when PCN-224 served as ap hotocatalyst (Figure 4a).…”
