Abstract:
Photo/electro-catalytic CO2 reduction into high-value products are promising strategies for addressing both environmental problems and energy crisis. Duo to their advantageous visible light absorption ability, adjustable optic/electronic properties, definite active center, post-modification capability, and excellent stability, porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as attractive photo/electro-catalysts towards CO2 reduction. In this review, the research progress of the porphyrin-based COFs for photo/electro-catalytic CO2 reduction is summarized including the design principles, catalytic performance, and reaction mechanism. In addition, this review also presents some challenges and prospects for the application of porphyrin-based COFs in photo/electro-catalytic CO2 reduction, laying the base for both fundamental research and application efforts.

Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
