Pd, Cu, and Zn trimetallic metal-organic framework electrocatalysts (PCZs) based on benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic were synthesized using a simple solvothermal synthesis. The as-synthesized PCZ catalysts exhibited as much as 95% faradaic efficiency towards CO, with a high current density, low onset potential, and excellent long-term stability during the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2.

Abstract Here, we report a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-DBC), constructed by the large π-conjugated ligand dibenzo-[g,p]chrysene-2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15-octaol and the square-pyramidal CuO5 nodes, as the photo-coupled electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction to CH4. Under visible light, it exhibits high performance for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH4 with selectivity of 100% and rate of 1.04 μmol g-1 h-1, without additional photosensitizer. Importantly, at -1.4 V vs. RHE, it exhibits high performance for photo-coupled electroreduction of CO2 to CH4 with a Faradaic efficiency (CH4) of 93% and current density of 10.4 A g-1. Theoretical calculations, in-situ infrared spectroscopy investigation and Mott–Schottky measurements showed that the large conjugated ligand in Cu-DBC has the suitable lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) to match well with the reduction potential of CO2/CH4 and serves as a photoswitch to regulate electron transfer pathway to the metal center, resulting highly selective photocatalytic reduction or photo-coupled electroreduction of CO2 to CH4.

The improvement in the enzyme activity of Aspergillus flavus urate oxidase (Uox) was attained by immobilizing it on the surface of a Ni-based magnetic metal–organic framework (NimMOF) nanomaterial; physicochemical properties of NimMOF and its application as an enzyme stabilizing support were evaluated, which revealed a significant improvement in its stability upon immobilization on NimMOF (Uox@NimMOF). It was affirmed that while the free Uox enzyme lost almost all of its activity at ~40–45 °C, the immobilized Uox@NimMOF retained around 60% of its original activity, even retaining significant activity at 70 °C. The activation energy (Ea) of the enzyme was calculated to be ~58.81 kJ mol−1 after stabilization, which is approximately half of the naked Uox enzyme. Furthermore, the external spectroscopy showed that the MOF nanomaterials can be coated by hydrophobic areas of the Uox enzyme, and the immobilized enzyme was active over a broad range of pH and temperatures, which bodes well for the thermal and long-term stability of the immobilized Uox on NimMOF.
