We report the development of a hybrid catalyst consisting of carbon nitride (CNx) and cobalt phthalocyanine tetracarboxylic acid (CoPc-COOH), which shows high selectivity and reaction rate in converting CO2 to CO under simulated solar irradiation. The carboxylic acid substituents on the phthalocyanine ligands play a critical role in promoting catalytic activity and enabling ideal coverage of the cocatalyst on the semiconductor surface. The decoupling of charge carrier injection and CO2 reduction catalysis has important implications for future optimization and design of photocatalysts.
We report the development of a hybrid catalyst consisting of carbon nitride (CNx) and cobalt phthalocyanine tetracarboxylic acid (CoPc-COOH), which converts CO2 to CO with high reaction rate (1067 mu mol/g center dot h) and high selectivity (over 98%), under simulated solar irradiation. The carboxylic acid substituents on the phthalocyanine ligands play a critical role as they bind to the amine groups of CNx to enable nearly ideal monolayer coverage of the molecular cocatalyst on the semiconductor surface and promote catalytic activity from the molecular complex. Specifically, the CNx/ CoPc-COOH hybrid material achieves a reaction rate 16 times higher than a CNx material containing unsubstituted CoPc molecules. We further show that activation and deactivation of the CNx/ CoPc-COOH composite, which are associated with the reduction and decomposition of CoPc-COOH, respectively, both proceed at a nearly constant rate regardless of the CO2 reduction reaction rate. The decoupling of charge carrier injection and CO2 reduction catalysis has important mechanistic implications for future performance optimization and materials design of photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.
