Abstract:
We describe the precise nano-assembly of an antenna-single-atom-reactor based on a UiO-66-(SH)2 metal-organic framework support. We lock Ag plasmon nanoparticles in the thio-functionalized pore channels via Ag-S interaction, and anchor Cu single atoms on the oxygen-bridged Zr cluster anodes based on Cu-O bonds, leading to highly dispersed AgCu0.47@UiOS with exceptional catalytic activity for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.
