Abstract

Zr-AzBDC was synthesized from Zr(IV) salt and azobenzene-4,4’-dicarboxylic acid (AzBDC) linker by solvent-thermal method. The structure and optical properties of Zr-AzBDC were studied by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. The porosity of Zr-AzBDC was evaluated by N2 adsorption isotherm measurement/analysis at 77K. Its electro-catalytic properties was examined by typical electrochemical methods in 0.5 M K2CO3 (pH 11.5) aqueous solution. The results showed that the Zr-AzBDC have a great potential to be applied in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.
