Breaking the Methanol Synthesis Barrier in CO 2 Photoreduction: The Synergistic Effect of Single Atom Copper Within Covalent Organic Frameworks
Source abstract
Abstract
/COF-TPDA, where the energy barrier for generating the HCOO* is reduced to 0.76 eV. The presence of unsaturated Cu sites enhances catalytic activity, making MeOH synthesis thermodynamically more favorable. This research shows that the photocatalytic performance of COFs can be efficiently tuned by anchoring single metal atoms, offering universal guidelines for creating COF-based photocatalysts that are both highly active and scalable.
