Abstract

Here we show for the first time a MOF that is photocatalytically

active for the light-assisted CO₂ methanation at mild conditions

(215 °C) without the inclusion of metallic nanoparticles or any

sacrificial agent. The presence of Cu₂O nanoparticles causes a 50 % increase in the photocatalytic activity. These results pave the way to developping efficient and cost-effective materials for CO₂ elimination.
