Tuning photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction performance via nodes and dimensionality in metal–organic frameworks

Key Points

• Investigate the impact of dimensionality and nodes on the photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance of metal-organic frameworks.
• Synthesis of three distinct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with varying dimensionalities and nodal structures.
• Assessment of photocatalytic performance through CO2 reduction experiments.
• Comparison of performance metrics across different MOFs.
• The 2D Co8-MOF-2 showed superior performance in photocatalytic CO2 reduction compared to other MOFs.
• Tuning the framework's dimensionality and nodal structure significantly enhances CO2 reduction reactions.
