Two-Dimensional Metal Organic Framework Nanosheets as Bifunctional Catalyst for Electrochemical and Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting represent promising strategies for renewable energy conversion and fuel production and require design of efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) Co-based metal organic framework (Co-MOF) nanosheets and their bifunctional catalytic properties for both EC and PEC OER. Benefiting from the large surface area and abundant isolated metal active sites, the Co-MOF nanosheets exhibited excellent OER activity and stability. The efficient electron-hole generation and separation of the nanosheets, owing to dimensional confinement, contributed to an improved visible light response in PEC OER. This study presents a new strategy to design EC/PEC bifunctional catalyst utilizing unique structural and electronic features of 2D MOF.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been an excellent platform for carbon dioxide reduction reactions (CO2RR). In this work, the feasibility of electrochemical reduction of CO2 to obtain C2-deep value-added products was investigated by the preparation of Mg-containing MOF-74 samples combined with transition metal cations (Ni2+, Co2+ and Zn2+). The prepared MOFs were used as electrocatalysts in CO2RR. Chronoamperometric analysis coupled to ATR-FTIR spectroscopy was employed to characterize the CO2 reduction products and subsequently via 1H NMR. Although an isostructural crystalline structure was observed in all synthesized MOFs, the pore diameter distribution was significantly affected due to the Mg coordination along with each transition metal nuclei with the organic ligand to form the MOF-74. Our results showed that Mg-containing MOF-74 electrocatalysts combined with Ni, Co and Zn ions successfully reduced CO2 to C2-deep products, while the monometallic Mg-MOF-74 showed only CO2 mineralization. An ester acetate, isopropyl alcohol, and formic acid were produced by Mg/Ni-MOF-74; isopropyl alcohol was provided by Mg/Co-MOF-74, and ethanol was generated by Mg/Zn-MOF-74. We observed that the change of the transition cation was a key factor in the selectivity of the obtained products, while the degree of Mg ions effectively incorporated into the MOF structure tuned the porosity and the electrocatalytic activity. Among them, Mg/Zn-MFOF-74 showed the highest Mg content loaded after synthesis and thus the most favorable electrocatalytic behavior towards CO2 reduction. Highlights • CO2-derived C2-deep reduction products were obtained by Mg-containing MOF-74 bimetallic electrocatalysts.• Mg-containing MOF-74 bimetallic electrocatalysts reduced CO2 to ester acetate, isopropanol, formic acid, and ethanol.• Mg/Zn-MOF-74 displayed the highest current density at a lower onset potential in CO2-saturated electrolyte.• The pore network could be tuned by the effective Mg content on a MOF-74 bimetallic sample.• Mg/Zn-MOF-74 showed the highest Mg content among all bimetallic electrocatalysts after the synthesis.
