Thermochemical CO2 Reduction Catalyzed by Homometallic and Heterometallic Nanoparticles Generated from the Thermolysis of Supramolecularly Assembled Porous Metal-Adenine Precursors

A family of unprecedented supramolecularly assembled porous metal–organic compounds (SMOFs), based on [Cu6M­(μ-adeninato)6(μ3-OH)6(μ-H2O)6]2+ cations (MII: Cu, Co, Ni, and Zn) and different dicarboxylate anions (fumarate, benzoate, and naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate), have been employed as precursors...

Description
Summary:A family of unprecedented supramolecularly assembled porous metal–organic compounds (SMOFs), based on [Cu6M­(μ-adeninato)6(μ3-OH)6(μ-H2O)6]2+ cations (MII: Cu, Co, Ni, and Zn) and different dicarboxylate anions (fumarate, benzoate, and naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate), have been employed as precursors of catalysts for the thermocatalytic reduction of CO2. The selected metal–organic cation allows us to tune the composition of the SMOFs and, therefore, the features and performance of the final homometallic and bimetallic catalysts. These catalysts were obtained by thermolysis at 600 °C under a N2 atmosphere and consist of big metal particles (10–20 μm) placed on the surface of the carbonaceous matrix and very tiny metal aggregates (
