The goal of photocatalytic CO reduction system is to achieve near 100 % selectivity for the desirable product with reasonably high yield and stability. Here, two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks are constructed with abundant and uniform monometallic active sites, aiming to be an emerged platform for efficient and selective CO reduction. As an example, water-stable Cu-based metal-organic framework nanoribbons with coordinatively unsaturated single CuII sites are first fabricated, evidenced by X-ray diffraction patterns and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In situ Fourier-transform infrared spectra and Gibbs free energy calculations unravel the formation of the key intermediate COOH* and CO* is an exothermic and spontaneous process, whereas the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction is endothermic and non-spontaneous, which accounts for the selective CO reduction. As a result, in an aqueous solution containing 1 mol L KHCO and without any sacrifice reagent, the water-stable Cu-based metal-organic framework nanoribbons exhibited an average CO yield of 82 μmol g  h with the selectivity up to 97 % during 72 h cycling test, which is comparable to other reported photocatalysts under similar conditions.
