Local Weak Hydrogen Bonds Significantly Enhance CO2 Electroreduction Performances of a Metal-Organic Framework

Technological application of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 relies on efficient electrocatalysts.We demonstrate that the introduction of amino groups alongside the porphyrin cobalt centers in a metal-organic framework(MOF)can dramatically accelerate the electrochemical CO2 reduction performance.A classic cobalt porphyrin-based MOF showing moderate C02-to-CO electroreduction performance(turnover frequency[TOF]=0.20 s-1,Faradic efficiency[FE]=47.4%)is modified.By mo-lecular design of the porphyrin-based ligand,amino groups are introduced alongside the cobalt center,giving remarkably enhanced Co2-to-CO electro-reduction performance as high as FE 99.4%,current density 7.2 mA cm-2,and TOF 21.17 s-1,in a near-neutral aqueous solution at a low overpotential of 525 mV.Density functional theory calculations showed that the prepositioned amino groups,al-though located not sufficiently close to the active center,serve as hydrogen-bonding donors to stabilize the intermediate Co-CO2 adduct and impede the for-mation of Co-H2O adduct,which not only promotes the CO2 reduction reaction but also restrains the hydrogen evolution reaction.
