Research progress in photo/electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ by functionalized metal–organic frameworks

Abstract

Environmental pollution and energy shortage caused by climate change are the most serious non-traditional security problems facing the world today, seriously threatening the survival and development of human society. As...

Porphyrin-based metal–organic frameworks for photo(electro)catalytic CO2 reduction

“…53,91,126 This is achieved through the introduction or substitution of functional linkers that facilitate charge transport while maintaining the inherent porphyrin topology. 146 Huang and his team integrated viologen groups into cobalt porphyrin (Por(Co))-based MOFs by a selfassembly method for the first time to act as electron-transfer mediators (ETMs) to enhance the electron-transfer capacity and thus improve the activity of the CO 2 RR (Fig. 16a).…”
