Metal-organic layers as a platform for developing single-atom catalysts for photochemical CO2 reduction

The photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals or feedstock is very meaningful for environmental and energy sustainability. Development of efficient, robust and low-cost catalysts is necessary and desirable for their practical application. In this communication, we exploited such a catalyst by anchoring single-Co(II) sites on g-C3N4, which was firstly achieved by the pyrolysis of ultrathin cobalt metal-organic...
