A photocatalytic reaction involves charge separation and transfer under photo-irradiation, and the photogenerated charge carriers (holes and electrons) are responsible for the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst. The active centres in a single-site photocatalyst are the isolated and spatially separated sites that may interact with reactants after photo-irradiation. Generally, single-site photocatalysts perform better than other types of photocatalysts owing to the presence of the efficient active centres. A porous structure can provide more single sites and special passages for charge transport. Thus, the introduction of a porous structure into a photocatalyst may result in markedly enhanced photocatalytic reactivity, providing a promising strategy for the design and fabrication of novel photocatalysts with high performances. In this review, we summarize the developments in single-site photocatalysts, particularly those with a porous structure, such as metal-incorporated zeolites, metal–organic frameworks and porous semiconductor photocatalysts. The synthesis, structures and catalytic performances of these single-site photocatalysts have been described, and characterization and reaction mechanisms for single-site photocatalysts have also been detailed. Finally, we point out the significance of study on single-site photocatalysts with a porous structure.

Understanding how different factors affect the electronic prop-erties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical to under-standing their potential for catalysis and to serve as catalyst supports. In this work, periodic dispersion corrected PBE cal-culations are performed to assess the catalytic activity of dif-ferent Zr6 vs Zr12 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the heterogeneous catalytic hydrolysis of the chemical warfare agent (CWA) sarin. Using a comprehensive series of extended periodic models capable of capturing long-range sar-in/water/framework interactions in both Zr6 and Zr12 MOFs, the effect of numbers and morphologies of defective sites as well as ZrIV substitution with heavier CeIV are thoroughly in-vestigated. Our calculations show that hydrogen bonds in-volving both metal-oxide nodes and organic linkers can play important roles in the catalysis. Insights derived from this work should inform the design and realization of more effec-tive and robust next-generation MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts.
