Surface Organometallic Chemistry on MOFs, POPs and inorganic oxides for CO2 and proton reduction: en route to renewable energies storage

SSCI-VIDE+ING+JEC:EQDInternational audiencecarbon footprint reduction. CO2, N2 , H2 and biomass can be key vector molecules to enable such renewable energy insertion in the value chain of process industry [1]. A frontier in catalysis connected with this challenge is the development robust and stable solid catalysts which can be integrated in 3D devices capable of harvesting renewable energy (be it a “green electron”[1b] or photon) to perform the targeted reductions. Mono-metallic atomically precise systems are emerging which contribute to such approach. Some recent research achievements around catalytic systems developed by surface organometallic chemistry will be presented here. Among them, one example based on the integration of well-defined rhodium-based catalytic system in microporous-based material for CO2 reduction [2a], with formate as the sole carbon-containing product which result more stable and selective than their homogenous counterpart while preserving the predictive structure-activity correlation known for the metal complexes in solution; one example on the usefulness of Atomic Layer Deposition to build BiVO4-based photoactive structures [2b] and one based on Covalent Triazine Frameworks (CTFs) [2c].ref:1.
