Regulation of Bimetallic Coordination Centers in MOF Catalyst for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction to Formate.

ABSTRACT: Electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ to valuable chemicals can alleviate the energy crisis, and solve the greenhouse effect. The key is to develop non-noble metal electrocatalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability. Herein, bimetallic metal organic frameworks (MOFs) materials (BiZn-MOF, BiSn-MOF, and BiIn-MOF) were constructed by coordinating the metals Zn, In, Sn, and Bi with the organic ligand 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic acid (H₂atzc) through a rapid microwave synthesis approach. The coordination centers in bimetallic MOF catalyst were regulated to optimize the catalytic performance for electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). The optimized catalyst BiZn-MOF exhibited higher catalytic activity than those of Bi-MOF, Bi
