  • Title: Ti(IV)-MOF with Specific Facet-Ag Nanoparticle Composites for Enhancing the Photocatalytic Activity and Selectivity of CO2 Reduction.

    Journal: ACS Appl Mater Interfaces; 2022 Jul 20; 14(28):32350-32359. PubMed ID: 35801822.
    Abstract:
    Metal nanoparticles deposited in the photocatalyst not only can serve as a cocatalyst but also can act as a light harvester to extend the light absorption, resulting from the surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In this study, we deposited silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) onto NH2-MIL-125(Ti) with exposed specific facets and achieved effectively improved activity and selectivity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Loading Ag NPs on the exposed {111} facets of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) generates a highly effective composite catalyst for the photoreduction of CO2, resulting in the maximal CO and CH4 yields of 26.7 and 63.3 μmol g-1 h-1, respectively, which are 2.2- and 16.2-fold those of the NH2-MIL-125(Ti) exposing {111} facets, and a CH4 selectivity of 90.5%. Incorporation of Ag NPs not only optimizes the electronic structure of the photocatalyst but also suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This study provides an exciting example for creating and understanding metal-decorated facet-dependent effects on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for photocatalytic reactions.
