The presence of greenhouse CO gas in the atmosphere causes serious environmental issues. Consequently, the development of photocatalysts for reducing CO is essential for mimicking artificial photosynthesis. In this study, we prepared a 5,15-di(4-aminophenty)-10,20-diphentyporphyrin copper (CuDAPP)-1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TP)-covalent organic framework (COF) layer on a glass sheet a layer-by-layer (LBL) method.

- This research explores artificial photosynthesis, which converts CO into valuable chemicals using solar light.
- The study developed photocatalysts made from abundant elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) built into special polymers, achieving efficient CO reduction using only water as an electron donor.
- The standout photocatalyst, ZnTBPP-BEPA-COP, showed impressive efficiency by reducing CO significantly under visible light, suggesting that metal centers play a critical role in the catalytic process.
