Non-thermal plasma-assisted catalytic CO2 conversion over Zn-TCPP 2D catalyst

Abstract

There is still a growing interest in CO2 conversion into useful compounds. Plasma technology is a highly promising alternative due to its non-equilibrium nature, crucial for CO2 dissociation processes. In this study we present, the non-thermal plasma-assisted catalytic CO2 reduction to CO on 2D Zn-containing paddle wheel structures based on TCPP. The catalytic efficiency of this MOF material is shown to be high. The experimental data from HRTEM, adsorption and FTIR analyses lead to the simplified model mechanism of this process.
