Oriented electron transmission in polyoxometalate-metalloporphyrin organic framework for highly selective electroreduction of CO₂.

ABSTRACT: The design of highly stable, selective and efficient electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction reaction is desirable while largely unmet. In this work, a series of precisely designed polyoxometalate-metalloporphyrin organic frameworks are developed. Noted that the integration of {?-PMo₈^VMo₄^VIO₄₀Zn₄} cluster and metalloporphyrin endows these polyoxometalate-metalloporphyrin organic frameworks greatly advantages in terms of electron collecting and donating, electron migration and electrocatalytic active component in the CO₂ reduction reaction. Thus-obtained catalysts finally present excellent performances and the mechanisms of catalysis processes are discussed and revealed by density functional theory calculations. Most importantly, Co-PMOF exhibits remarkable faradaic efficiency (?>?94%) over a wide potential range (-0.8 to -1.0?V). Its best faradaic efficiency can reach up to 99% (highest in reported metal-organic frameworks) and it exhibits a high turnover frequency of 1656?h^-1 and excellent catalysis stability (?>?36?h).
