The poor activity of CO2 molecules, the easy recombination of the delocalized photongenerated carriers on the semiconductor photocatalysts and the unclear photocatalytic mechanism are the open questions in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. It was found that the electrons from the locally excited isolated meta-oxo species on the surface of molecular sieve could directly reduce CO2 without the separation process. Thus, this proposal proposes a new idea to develop well-defined isolated metal-oxo species on the surface of SAPO-5 molecular sieves through a surface organometallic chemistry method. These isolated species activated under UV and visible light irradiation to form the located excited electron-hole pairs which could activate and transform CO2 molecules efficiently. We will prepare these isolated species on the surface of SAPO-5 by a grafting reaction of transition metal complex. The adsorption and activation states of the reactant molecules, such as CO2, on the photocatalysts, will be investigated in detail. The interaction relationship between CO2 and the surface microstructures of molecular sieve will be uncovered. Furthermore, we will also study the reaction efficiency and product distribution toward the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O. The main influence factors on the reduction efficiency and reaction direction of CO2 will also be analyzed. The effects of the component, structure, and surface state of the catalysts on the photocatalytic activity and stability will be clarified. Also, the transformation of CO2 molecules on the interface of the catalysts will be elucidated. Finally, probable photocatalytic mechanisms will be proposed. These studies may establish a foundation to design and develop the new photocatalysts for the efficient reduction of CO2.
