Linking oxidative and reductive clusters to prepare crystalline porous catalysts for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction with H₂O.

ABSTRACT: Mimicking natural photosynthesis to convert CO₂ with H₂O into value-added fuels achieving overall reaction is a promising way to reduce the atmospheric CO₂ level. Casting the catalyst of two or more catalytic sites with rapid electron transfer and interaction may be an effective strategy for coupling photocatalytic CO₂ reduction and H₂O oxidation. Herein, based on the MOF ∪ COF collaboration, we have carefully designed and synthesized a crystalline hetero-metallic cluster catalyst denoted MCOF-Ti₆Cu₃ with spatial separation and functional cooperation between oxidative and reductive clusters. It utilizes dynamic covalent bonds between clusters to promote photo-induced charge separation and transfer efficiency, to d
