Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to C2+ products using a metal–organic framework composited with facet engineered Pd nanoparticles

The ability of MIL-100(Fe) to photoreduce CO 2 to C 2 H 4 is enhanced by loading Pd NPs with {111} facets, which can facilitate migration and separation of photoelectrons and lower the energy barrier in the decisive step of the coupling reaction.
