Abstract The much-needed renewable alternatives to fossil fuel can be achieved efficiently and sustainably by converting solar energy to solar fuels via hydrogen generation from water or CO2 reduction. In this regard, a soft processable metal-organic hybrid semiconducting material has been developed and studied for photocatalytic activity towards H2 production and CO2 reduction to CO and CH4 under visible light and direct sunlight irradiation. A tetrapodal low molecular weight gelator is synthesized by integrating tetrathiafulvalene and terpyridine through amide linkage (TPY-TTF). The TPY-TTF acts as a linker and by self-assembly with ZnII results in a charge-transfer (CT) coordination polymer gel (CPG); Zn-TPY-TTF. The Zn-TPY-TTF shows impressive photocatalytic activity towards H2 production (rate = 530 μmol g-1h-1) and CO2 reduction to CO (rate = 438 μmol g-1h-1, selectivity >99%) regulated by charge-transfer interaction. Furthermore, in-situ stabilization of Pt nanoparticles to CPG (Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF) exhibits remarkably enhanced H2 evolution (rate =14727 μmol g-1h-1). Importantly, Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF modulate the CO2 reduction from CO to CH4 (rate = 292 μmol g-1h-1, selectivity >97%). Real-time CO2 reduction reaction is monitored by in-situ DRIFT study and subsequent plausible mechanism is derived computationally. The photocatalytic activity of Zn-TPY-TTF and Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF composite was also examined under sunlight that display excellent H2 evolution and CO2 reduction.

AbstractThe much-needed renewable alternatives to fossil fuel can be achieved efficiently and sustainably by converting solar energy to fuels via hydrogen generation from water or CO2 reduction. Herein, a soft processable metal-organic hybrid material is developed and studied for photocatalytic activity towards H2 production and CO2 reduction to CO and CH4 under visible light as well as direct sunlight irradiation. A tetrapodal low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) is synthesized by integrating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and terpyridine (TPY) derivatives through amide linkages and results in TPY-TTF LMWG. The TPY-TTF LMWG acts as a linker, and self-assembly of this gelator molecules with ZnII ions results in a coordination polymer gel (CPG); Zn-TPY-TTF. The Zn-TPY-TTF CPG shows high photocatalytic activity towards H2 production (530 μmol g−1h−1) and CO2 reduction to CO (438 μmol g−1h−1, selectivity > 99%) regulated by charge-transfer interactions. Furthermore, in situ stabilization of Pt nanoparticles on CPG (Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF) enhances H2 evolution (14727 μmol g−1h−1). Importantly, Pt@Zn-TPY-TTF CPG produces CH4 (292 μmol g−1h−1, selectivity > 97%) as CO2 reduction product instead of CO. The real-time CO2 reduction reaction is monitored by in situ DRIFT study, and the plausible mechanism is derived computationally.

Ag3PO4/TNT heterojunctions have been fabricated via a facile in situ growth method. Compared with pure Ag3PO4, Ag3PO4/TNT possesses more active sites, less bulk defects, as well as better dye adsorption properties, and thus exhibits a significantly elevated photocatalytic activity and stability for RhB degradation.
