Article Synopsis
  • - DMSC (dinuclear metal synergistic catalysis) is a promising method to boost the efficiency of photocatalytic CO reduction, but designing effective dinuclear metal complexes has been challenging due to a lack of understanding of their microenvironment's impact on catalytic activity.
  • - A new dinuclear cobalt complex with a planar structure has been developed, demonstrating exceptional catalytic performance for converting CO, achieving turnover numbers (TON) and turnover frequencies (TOF) that are significantly higher than those of a corresponding single-metal complex.
  • - The enhanced activity of this dinuclear cobalt complex is attributed to an indirect DMSC effect between the two cobalt ions, facilitating an efficient two-electron transfer process and improved mass transfer, all supported by its unique planar design

2D lamellar materials can offer high surface area and abundant reactive sites, thus showing an appealing prospect in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. However, it is still difficult to build cost-efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution systems based on 2D materials. Herein, an in situ growth method is employed to build 2D/2D heterojunctions, with which 2D Ni-based metal-organic layers (Ni-MOLs) are closely grown on 2D porous CdS (P-CdS) nanosheets, affording traditional P-CdS/Ni-MOL heterojunction materials.
