=== Abstract ===
The study introduces a bioinspired nickel-based molecular catalyst, [Ni(N2S2)]Cl2 (NiN2S2), for photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light. Combining the catalyst with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as a photosensitizer and BIH as a sacrificial electron donor, the system achieved an 89% selectivity towards CO, with a turnover number (TON) of 7991 during 8 hours of irradiation. The process demonstrated high catalytic efficiency with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1079 h⁻¹ and an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 1.08%.

==== Summary ====
Inspired by natural enzymes, this work focuses on the development of a novel nickel catalyst for CO2 photoreduction. NiN2S2, designed with thiol and pyridine ligands, exhibited remarkable activity and selectivity in converting CO2 to CO. Control experiments confirmed the necessity of light, the catalyst, and sacrificial electron donors. Acidic co-substrates such as phenol further enhanced the reaction's efficiency without compromising selectivity. This study establishes NiN2S2 as a promising candidate for sustainable CO2 reduction under visible light.

Abstract[edit | edit source]

The study introduces a bioinspired nickel-based molecular catalyst, [Ni(N2S2)]Cl2 (NiN2S2), for photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light. Combining the catalyst with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as a photosensitizer and BIH as a sacrificial electron donor, the system achieved an 89% selectivity towards CO, with a turnover number (TON) of 7991 during 8 hours of irradiation. The process demonstrated high catalytic efficiency with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1079 h⁻¹ and an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 1.08%.

Summary[edit | edit source]

Inspired by natural enzymes, this work focuses on the development of a novel nickel catalyst for CO2 photoreduction. NiN2S2, designed with thiol and pyridine ligands, exhibited remarkable activity and selectivity in converting CO2 to CO. Control experiments confirmed the necessity of light, the catalyst, and sacrificial electron donors. Acidic co-substrates such as phenol further enhanced the reaction's efficiency without compromising selectivity. This study establishes NiN2S2 as a promising candidate for sustainable CO2 reduction under visible light.
