Abstract:
Fully utilizing the photogenerated electrons and holes in a photocatalytic process is a promising way to enhance catalytic efficiency and achieve atomic economy. Here, conjugated photocatalytic redox reactions, i.e. hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to cinnamyl alcohol (COL) and concomitant oxidation of benzylalcohol (BA) to benzaldehyde under visible light, are achieved via creating bimetal MIL-100(Fe1-xAlx) compounds as photocatalysts. MIL-100(Fe0.63Al0.37) exhibits a high conversion (approximate to 100%) of CAL with a high selectivity (approximate to 100%) of COL, while converts BA into benzaldehyde (BAD) with a high yield (approximate to 100%). MIL-100(Fe0.63Al0.37) offers abundant and strong surface Lewis acid sites (Al3+) to activate CAL and BA molecules. In situ FTIR-DRS result indicates that COL is selectively activated via a sbndC=O coordination. In situ EPR result reveals that BA molecule is activated to generate Ph-CH2O- and H+. Under visible light, Ph-CH2O- is oxidized to Ph-CH2O center dot by photogenerated hole, while the photogenerated electron is responsible for producing H atom through the reduction of the dissociated H+. Then the second H atom is released from Ph-CH2O center dot, causing the generation of Ph-CHO. The activated CAL is selectively hydrogenated to COL by two H atoms. This work provides a special horizon to effectively design a hybrid metal MOFs photocatalyst and to improve the full utilization of photogenerated electrons-holes in a photocatalytic process.
