研究目的
To develop green biomimetic metal-organic frameworks for efficient CO2 photoconversion into HCOOH using visible light, and to investigate the catalytic mechanism involving o-amino and aromatic nitrogen atoms.
研究成果
The biomimetic MOFs, particularly AD-MOF-2, demonstrate high efficiency and selectivity for CO2 photoreduction to HCOOH in aqueous conditions, with a novel catalytic mechanism centered on adenine's o-amino and aromatic nitrogen atoms. This provides a green and stable alternative to traditional catalysts, with potential for further development in artificial photosynthesis applications.
研究不足
The MOFs may have limited stability in certain solvents (e.g., AD-MOF-1 in water), and the photocatalytic efficiency could be affected by mass loss during recycling. The study focuses on HCOOH production, and other reduction products were not observed, indicating selectivity constraints.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing two biomimetic MOFs (AD-MOF-1 and AD-MOF-2) using adenine and carboxylic acids under solvothermal conditions to mimic enzymatic catalysis for CO2 photoreduction. Theoretical models included DFT calculations for mechanism insights.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were the synthesized MOFs, characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, PXRD, TGA, UV-vis spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky measurements, CO2 and N2 adsorption isotherms, and photocatalytic tests under CO2 atmosphere.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included solvothermal synthesis setup, X-ray diffractometer, spectrophotometer, gas chromatograph, ion chromatograph, inductively-coupled plasma analyzer, and computational tools for DFT. Materials included cobalt ions, adenine, butanedioic acid, isobutyric acid, solvents (DMF, acetonitrile, water), and triisopropanolamine as electron donor.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
MOFs were synthesized, activated, and characterized. Photocatalytic reactions were conducted under visible light irradiation with CO2, using TIPA as sacrificial agent. Products were analyzed by IC and GC; stability and isotopic labeling (13CO2) experiments were performed.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Kubelka-Munk method for band gaps, adsorption isotherms for porosity, and DFT calculations for free energy pathways and electron density distributions.
