Abstract:
Here, we report the encapsulation of Au25 nanoclusters in a Cu3(BTC)2 metal-organic framework (Au25@Cu-BTC), which can achieve CO2 photoreduction for selective CO production in a gas-solid reaction system at low-concentration CO2 atmospheres (even to 0.1%), with remarkably enhanced durability up to at least 48 h.
