Reticular framework materials for photocatalytic organic reactions

Abstract

Photocatalytic organic reactions, harvesting solar energy to produce high value-added organic chemicals, have attracted increasing attention as a sustainable approach to address the global energy crisis and environmental issues.

A Green Environmental Protection Photocatalytic Molecular Reactor for Aerobic Oxidation of Sulfide to Sulfoxide

“…[5][6] As an emerging kind of crystalline materials, zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have been well known for their outstanding stability, ultrahigh porosity, large surface area and easy modification and thus could offer well-defined cavities to encapsulate reactants to function as artificial enzymes. [7][8][9] Meanwhile, due to the ultrahigh stability and crystalline, Zr-MOFs are usually capable of being used as heterogeneous catalysts to be easily recovered from the reaction mixture but also exhibited homogenous characteristics of high efficiency to some degree because of the sufficient contact between the substrates and catalytic sites in the confined space. Therefore, Zr-MOFs are recognized as ideal green platforms to drive aqueous catalytic transformations.…”

Boosting Hydrogen Production of a MOF‐based Multicomponent Photocatalyst with Clean Interface via Facile One‐pot Electrosynthesis

“…[10] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known as porous crystalline materials that assembled by organic linkers with metal ions/clusters, feature porosity, structural diversity and tunability. [11][12][13][14] Since inorganic-organic hybrid character offers tunable semiconductor behavior, MOFs have received extensive attention for application in photocatalysis, especially in the area of photocatalytic H 2 production. [15][16][17][18][19][20] The topological structure and surface microenvironment of MOF-based photocatalysts are able to be designed at the molecular level.…”

Metal–organic framework-based S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts

“…Among them, MOFs, known as a type of porous crystalline material, have received specific attention. 20,21 Owing to their excellent physicochemical properties such as a large specific surface area, high porosity, dispersed metal sites and a ligand–metal charge transfer pathway, 4,22 semiconducting MOFs have demonstrated great potential in pollutant degradation, 23 water splitting, 24 organic transformation, 25 CO 2 reduction 26 and N 2 fixation. 27 Through precise regulation of the structures ( e.g.…”
