Adaptive lattice-matched MOF@COF heterostructure for better photocatalytic activity

The introduction of COFs into MOFs can improve the activity of MOF-based photocatalysts. Recently in Cell Reports Physical Science, Yu et al. proposed a creation of lattice intergrown MOF@COF heterostructures by dynamic self-adaptive behavior, showing excellent formic-acid selectivity and yield from CO2 photoreduction.

Adaptive lattice-matched MOF and COF core-shell heterostructure for carbon dioxide photoreductionYu et al.Cell Reports Physical ScienceOctober 25, 2023In BriefSelf-adaptively grown lattice-matched MOF@COF, e.g., UiO-MOF@TpPa-COF, core-shell heterostructure is developed by Yu et al. The lattice-matched strategy is implemented to build directional charge transfer channels, resulting in nearly 100% selectivity for the CO2 photoreduction to HCOOH with a high rate of ∼178.3 μmol g−1·h−1.
