Covalent grafting of molecular photosensitizer and catalyst on MOF-808: effect of pore confinement toward visible light-driven CO2 reduction in water

We have fabricated Zr-MBA-Ru/Re-MOFvia post-synthetic modification of MOF-808. The integrated catalyst assembly was used to mimic natural photosynthesis for sunlight-driven CO₂ reduction to produce CO in aqueous medium without external sacrificial electron donor.
