A functionalised nickel cyclam catalyst for CO₂ reduction: electrocatalysis, semiconductor surface immobilisation and light-driven electron transfer.

چکیده
The immobilisation of electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction onto light harvesting semiconductors is proposed to be an important step towards developing more efficient CO2 reduction photoelectrodes. Here, we report a low cost nickel cyclam complex covalently anchored to a metal oxide surface. Using transient spectroscopy we validate the role of surface immobilisation on enhancing the rate of photoelectron transfer. Furthermore [Ni(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6-carboxylic acid)](2+) (2) is shown to be a very active electrocatalyst in solution.

The immobilisation of molecular catalysts on semiconductors for solar fuel production is an attractive strategy to exploit electrocatalysts in a heterogeneous photocatalytic environment. Efficient H2 production in such hybrid systems requires effective electronic coupling between the light harvesting unit and the electrocatalyst. Current examples based on non-precious metal complexes include Co...

A novel modified Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was fabricated via an organic template-free hydrothermal route. The average particle size of Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was calculated to be 85 nm by scanning electronic microscopy. Then, Carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite and Ni2+ ions were then incorporated to the nanozeolite matrix. Electrochemical behavior of this electrode was ...
