Abstract

The increased emission of CO2 has negative impacts on the environment. Among the strategies, photocatalytic reduction is promising to convert the CO2 into chemicals. In this report, CoOx nanoparticles were loaded in the channels of MIL-101(Cr), a kind of metal-organic frameworks (MOF), to construct a novel CoOx /MIL-101(Cr) system to facilitate CO2 photoreduction. Under the optimal conditions, the CoOx /MIL-101(Cr) showed a significantly enhanced performance for photocatalytic CO2 reduction compared with bare CoOx and MIL-101(Cr). Our findings provide a pathway for a rational design of efficient MOF systems for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 .
