Abstract

Abstract:

Photocatalytic CO₂ reduction is a major part of the study of artificial photosynthesis. The conversion of molecule CO₂ into fuels, precursor to fuels, or value-added chemicals through visible light induced photocatalysis is considered as an ideal way of fixation and resource utilization of CO₂. Metal complexes as molecular catalysts for CO₂ reduction had long been used in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction systems for its tunable structure, rich valences of contained metal, easy synthesis, and economic advantages. The study of utilization of cobalt complexes as catalysts for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction dates from 1980s. A large number of cobalt complexes of Co-macrocycles, Co-porphyrin and its analogues, Co-polypyridine complexes had been developed as catalysts to mediate CO₂-CO or CO₂-formate conversion in particular photocatalytic CO₂ reduction systems. Herein, we review the development and advances of the study on molecular systems for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction based on cobalt complexes as catalysts. The cobalt complexes used in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction systems are classified and discussed. The structures, mechanisms, and composition of systems are reviewed. In the end of the review, a summary and outlook are given.

Key words: artificial photosynthesis, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, photocatalysis, cobalt complexes, molecular catalyst
