However, it is still a challenge to selectively and effectively convert CO₂ to a desirable reaction product. Herein, we report a design of a synergistic photocatalyst for selective reduction of CO₂ to CO by using a covalent organic framework bearing single Ni sites (Ni-TpBpy), in which electrons transfer from photosensitizer to Ni sites for CO production by the activated CO₂ reduction under visible-light irradiation. Ni-TpBpy exhibits an excellent activity, giving a 4057 μmol g^-1 of CO in a 5 h reaction with a 96% selectivity over H₂ evolution. More importantly, when the CO₂ partial pressure was reduced to 0.1 atm, 76% selectivity for CO production is still obtained. Theoretical calculations and experimental results suggest that the promising catalytic activity and selectivity are ascribed to synergistic effects of single Ni catalytic sites and TpBpy, in which the TpBpy not only serves as a host for CO₂ molecules and Ni catalytic sites but also facilitates the activation of CO₂ and inhibits the competitive H₂ evolution.23:T4a4,Yolk-shell nanoreactors have received considerable interest for use in catalysis. However, the controlled synthesis of continuous crystalline shells without imperfections or cracks remains challenging. Here, a strategy for the synthesis of yolk-shell metal nanoparticles@covalent organic framework (MNPs@COF) nanoreactors by using MNPs@ZIF-8 core-shell nanostructures as a self-template is designed and developed. The COF shell is formed through an amorphous-to-crystalline transformation process of a polyimine shell in a mildly acidic solution, while the ZIF-8 is etched in situ, generating a void space between the MNPs core and the COF shell. With the protection of the COF shell, multiple ligand-free MNPs are confined inside of the hollow nanocages. Importantly, the synthetic strategy can be generalized to engineer the functions and properties of the designed yolk-shell nanocages by varying the structure of the COF shell and/or the composition of the core MNPs. Representative Pd@H-TpPa yolk-shell nanocages with active Pd NP cores and permeable TpPa shells exhibit high catalytic activity and stability in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH₄ at room temperature.
