Research paper thumbnail of Preparation of FTO/CU2O Electrode Protected by PEDOT:PSS and Its Better Performance in the Photoelectrocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Methanol

The electrode was studied in the photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO 2. Methanol was obtained as the major product with a concentration of 460 μmol L −1 with a photoconversion yield of 12% after 60 min of reaction under the conditions of UV-Vis (125 W Hg high pressure lamp) and application of 0.0 V vs Ag/AgCl in 3.0 mol L −1 KCl in buffer sodium carbonate/sodium bicarbonate 0.1 mol L −1 saturated with CO 2 gas. The PEDOT:PSS has led to a significant improvement in CO 2 conversion due to rapid transfer of photogenerated holes. Consequently, the thin layer of PEDOT:PSS also reduces the photooxidation of Cu 2 O to CuO. The Cu 2 O/PEDOT:PSS photocatalytic system was found to have excellent photostability. Similar yield of alcohol was observed after reusing the catalyst six times.

The crystal structure of 1 was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I4 1 /a (No. 88), a = 30.585(4), c = 27.348(6) Å , V = 25582(7) Å 3 , Z = 16. Its 1D framework consists of chains formed of metal clusters and Mn(L) complexes linked to each other by Nb-C:N-Mn-N:C-Nb linkages. The chains extend along the a and b crystallographic axes and are related to each other by 4 1 screw axis. The chains are held together by [Me 4 N] ? cations and solvent molecules located in channels running between the chains. 1 and the previously reported 1D coordination polymer [Me 4 N] 3 {[Mn(5-MeOsalen)][Nb 6 Cl 12 (CN) 6 ]} (3) differ from each other in terms of their synthesis and their structural characteristics.
