Designing N‐Confused Metalloporphyrin‐Based Covalent Organic Frameworks for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction (Small 33/2023)

CO2 Reduction Reaction Catalysts In article number 2301818, Jing Xie and co-workers design N-confused metalloporphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as novel catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction. Through computational screening of stability, catalytic selectivity and activity, among the ten 3d metals, Co stands out in catalyzing CO2RR to CO. By inverting the NH units of one/two pyrrole rings of CoN4-Porphyrin outwards, the newly designed N-confused CoN3C1- and CoN2C2-Por-COFs have lower limiting potential of reducing CO2 to CO than its parent CoN4-Por-COF, and make it feasible to yield deep-reduction degree C1 products CH3OH and CH4.
