The efficient reduction of CO2 into valuable products such as methanol, over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based catalyst, has received much attention. The photocatalytic reduction is considered the most economical method due to the utilization of solar energy. In this study, Copper (II)/Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (Cu/ZIF-8) catalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The host ZIF-8, treated with 2 mmol copper prepared in 2M ammonium hydroxide solution showed the highest photocatalytic activity. The crystal structures of ZIF-8 and 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalysts were observed as cubic and orthorhombic, respectively and the XPS analysis confirmed the deposition of Cu (II) ions over ZIF-8 surface among all the prepared catalysts. The orthorhombic structure, nano-sized crystals, morphology and Cu loading of the 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalyst were the core factors to influence the photocatalytic activity. The yield of Methanol was found to be 35.82 µmol/L·g after 6 h of irradiations on 2Cu/ZIF-8N2 catalyst in the wavelength range between 530–580 nm. The copper-based ZIF-8 catalyst has proven as an alternative approach for the economical photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH3OH.

Two novel polymers exhibiting metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized by the combination of a metal ion with a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate ligand (BTC) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) under hydrothermal conditions. The first compound, poly[[(μ4-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato-κ4 O:O′:O′′:O′′′)(μ-hydroxido-κ2 O:O)bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)dizinc(II)] 0.32-hydrate], {[Zn2(C9H3O6)(OH)(C12H8N2)2]·0.32H2O} n , denoted Zn–MOF, forms a two-dimensional network in which a binuclear Zn2 cluster serves as a 3-connecting node; the BTC trianion also acts as a 3-connecting centre. The overall topology is that of a 63 net. The phen ligands serve as appendages to the network and interdigitate with phen ligands belonging to adjacent parallel sheets. The second compound, poly[[(μ6-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato-κ7 O 1,O 1′:O 1:O 3:O 3′:O 5:O 5′)(μ3-hydroxido-κ2 O:O:O)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)dimanganese(II)] 1.26-hydrate], {[Mn2(C9H3O6)(OH)(C12H8N2)]·1.26H2O} n , denoted Mn–MOF, exists as a three-dimensional network in which an Mn4 cluster serves as a 6-connecting unit, while the BTC trianion again plays the role of a 3-connecting centre. The overall topology is that of the rutile net. Phen ligands act as appendages to the network and form the `S-shaped' packing mode.

Abstract Here, we report a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-DBC), constructed by the large π-conjugated ligand dibenzo-[g,p]chrysene-2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15-octaol and the square-pyramidal CuO5 nodes, as the photo-coupled electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction to CH4. Under visible light, it exhibits high performance for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH4 with selectivity of 100% and rate of 1.04 μmol g-1 h-1, without additional photosensitizer. Importantly, at -1.4 V vs. RHE, it exhibits high performance for photo-coupled electroreduction of CO2 to CH4 with a Faradaic efficiency (CH4) of 93% and current density of 10.4 A g-1. Theoretical calculations, in-situ infrared spectroscopy investigation and Mott–Schottky measurements showed that the large conjugated ligand in Cu-DBC has the suitable lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) to match well with the reduction potential of CO2/CH4 and serves as a photoswitch to regulate electron transfer pathway to the metal center, resulting highly selective photocatalytic reduction or photo-coupled electroreduction of CO2 to CH4.

UIO-67 MOFs functionalized with a [Ru(dcbpy)(bpy)2]2+ photosensitizer and a Pt(dcbpy)Cl2 catalyst display enhanced photocatalytic activity, due to the facile electron transfer from the Ru- to Pt-centers in the MOFs.
