Abstract
En 中文
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely studied due to their versatile applications and easily tunable structures. However, heteroatom-metal coordination dominates the MOFs community, and the rational synthesis of carbon-metal coordination-based MOFs remains a significant challenge. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) MOFs based on silver-carbon linkages are synthesized through the coordination between silver(I) salt and isocyanide-based monomers at ambient condition. The as-synthesized 2D MOFs possess well-defined crystalline structures and a staggered AB stacking mode. Most interestingly, these 2D MOFs, without pi-pi stacking between layers, exhibit narrow band gaps down to 1.42 eV. As electrochemical catalysts for converting CO2 to CO, such 2D MOFs demonstrate Faradaic efficiency over 92 %. Surprisingly, the CO2 reduction catalyzed by these MOFs indicates favorable adsorption of CO2 and *COOH on the active carbon sites of the isocyanide groups rather than on silver sites. This is attributed to the critical sigma donor role of isocyanides and the corresponding ligand-to-metal charge-transfer effect. This work not only paves the way toward a new family of MOFs based on metal-isocyanide coordination but also offers a rare platform for understanding the electrocatalysis processes on strongly polarized carbon species.
