cat@MOFs Encapsulation of molecular catalysts in MOFs for CO2 reduction

Post-doctoral grant, 2020-2021

Team : Team REACTE, Laboratory of Molecular Electrochemistry (University of Paris).

Project leader : Julien BONIN

Abstract :

The goal of this project is to couple highly active and selective molecular catalysts for CO₂ reduction to porous photosensitive MOFs in order to investigate electro- and photocatalysis in heterogeneous conditions (suspensions, films) for CO₂ reduction. These hybrid molecular-material composites, free from noble-metal in their both components (catalyst, antennae), could lead to novel efficient hybrid heterogeneous catalysts for CO₂ valorization into energy-rich compounds of industrial interest.
