Visible light triggered exfoliation of COF micro/nanomotors for efficient photocatalysis

Kai Feng et al.

Summary: We developed a light-induced strategy to disperse aggregated bulk covalent organic frameworks (COFs) into isolated COF nanoparticles. Metal-coordinated COFs, specifically COF-909-Cu, -Co, or -Fe, were used to design COF-based micro/nanomotors. Metal ions decorated in the COF-909 backbone promoted electron-hole separation and triggered the production of ionic and reactive oxygen species under visible light irradiation, resulting in efficient dispersion of COFs. Among them, COF-909-Fe showed the best dispersion performance and significantly reduced particle size, leading to enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiency for tetracycline.

Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction in acid

Junnan Li et al.

Summary: The conversion of CO2 driven by renewable energy is an important way to generate carbon-based fuels and chemicals for a sustainable society. Although most CO2 reduction (CO2R) processes are carried out in alkaline electrolyte, this often leads to spontaneous formation of carbonates, resulting in low energy balance and CO2 utilization rate. Operating in acid conditions can alleviate these issues, but achieving selective CO2R in the presence of high proton concentrations has been a challenge. Recent studies have made progress in demonstrating the potential of CO2R in acid environments. Future research should address the remaining key questions to make acid-based CO2R practical.
