Engineering MOF/carbon nitride heterojunctions for effective dual photocatalytic CO₂ conversion and oxygen evolution reactions.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis appears as one of the most promising avenues to shift towards sustainable sources of energy, owing to its ability to transform solar light into chemical energy, e.g. production of chemical fuels via oxygen evolution (OER) and CO₂ reduction (CO₂RR) reactions. Ti metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and graphitic carbon nitride derivatives, i.e. poly-heptazine imides (PHI) are appealing CO₂RR and OER photo-catalysts respectively. Engineering of an innovative Z-scheme heterojunction by assembling a Ti-MOF and PHI offers an unparalleled opportunity to mimick an artificial photosynthesis device for dual CO₂RR/OER catalysis. Along this path, understanding of the photophysical processes controlling the MOF/PHI interfacial
