Directed Electron Delivery from a Pb-Free Halide Perovskite to a Co(II) Molecular Catalyst Boosts CO 2 Photoreduction Coupled with Water Oxidation

The development of high-performance photocatalytic systems for CO reduction is appealing to address energy and environmental issues, while it is challenging to avoid using toxic metals and organic sacrificial reagents. We here immobilize a family of cobalt phthalocyanine catalysts on Pb-free halide perovskite Cs AgBiBr nanosheets with delicate control on the anchors of the cobalt catalysts. Among them, the molecular hybrid photocatalyst assembled by carboxyl anchors achieves the optimal performance with an electron consumption rate of 300±13 μmol g h for visible-light-driven CO -to-CO conversion coupled with water oxidation to O , over 8 times of the unmodified Cs AgBiBr (36±8 μmol g h ), also far surpassing the documented systems (
