Integration of Multi-component MOF-based Photocatalyst in Liposome Nanoreactors
The European Union’s ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 requires us to transition from fossil fuels to sustainable forms of energy. Artificial photosynthesis, which converts solar energy into chemical fuels using abundant resources like CO2 and H2O, represents a real alternative. However, current photocatalytic systems suffer from inefficiencies in sunlight capture, charge recombination, and poor stability in aqueous media. The IMMPACT project proposes a pioneering strategy: compartmentalising supramolecular catalysts based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), photosensitisers, sacrificial reagents, and charge carriers within liposome-based nanoreactors. This innovative approach…
