MOF-based catalysts for VOC oxidation: thermocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photothermal catalysis.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major precursors of ozone and fine particulate matter, posing significant risks to both environmental quality and human health. Catalytic oxidation is widely regarded as one of the most effective approaches for VOC abatement; however, the rational design of efficient catalysts rema...

Co‐Based Molecular Water Oxidation Catalysts: Structural Modulation and Ligand Engineering Strategies

Efficient catalysts for water oxidation are important in the development of artificial photosynthesis. Although noble metal catalysts show excellent catalytic performance and stability, their scarce availability and high cost have restricted their further practical application. Accordingly, Co‐based molecular catalysts...

A comprehensive review on oxygen defect rich catalysts for low-temperature CO2 hydrogenation to methane and alcohols

The thermo-catalytic hydrogenation of greenhouse gas CO2 into more valuable products, primarily fuels such as methane and alcohols, is a promising pathway of carbon utilization. Since CO2 is known for its inertness with high activation energy, which makes it difficult to activate for the hydrogenation reaction, thus de...

Copper-Based Bimetallic Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol: Interfacial Synergy, Reaction Pathways, and Rational Design

CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is a key route for carbon recycling within the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) framework. Cu-based catalysts are widely employed because of their low cost and high methanol selectivity, yet monometallic Cu suffers from sintering, limited CO2 activation, and competing revers...

Metal-Oxo Cluster Composition in Metal-Organic Frameworks Controls Solar-Driven CO2 Methanation Pathways.

Although metal-organic frameworks have emerged as versatile and tunable heterogeneous photocatalysts for the hydrogenation of gaseous CO2 to CH4, the role of metal-oxo cluster composition in governing this photocatalytic process remains largely unexplored. Herein, we employ an isostructural series of monometallic MIL-1...
