Cu–Fe bimetallic MOF enhances the selectivity of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction toward CO production

Abstract

Catalysts were designed to maximize charge migration and electron–hole separation rate and thereby enhance the selectivity of the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction toward CO production.

Photocatalytic ethene synthesis from ethane dehydrogenation with high selectivity by ZnO-supported Pt nanoparticles

“…4d), reflecting the faster separation of photoinduced electrons and holes in Pt/ZnO. 53–56 Further, the electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) verify that Pt/ZnO possesses a smaller high-frequency semicircle in the Nyquist plot than pure ZnO (Fig. 4e), signifying the lower electronic resistance of Pt/ZnO, which is beneficial to boost separation and transport of the charge carriers in photo-catalysis.…”

Bimetallic Fe/Co photothermal catalyst for fixing CO2 to cyclic carbonates under atmospheric pressure

“…By employing a rational structure design, the synergistic effect between different components is effectively harnessed. Yang et al 38 developed a novel Cu–Fe bimetallic MOF material using a multi-ligand strategy, which demonstrates remarkable CO selectivity and yield, surpassing the efficiency of Cu-MOF by more than four times. Huang et al 39 synthesized NiFe-MOF modified with –NH 2 and –SH through a simple hydrothermal process.…”
