Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has attracted much attention as an environmentally friendly oxidant as well as a promising liquid fuel. Photocatalytic process is a potentially sustainable method for H2O2 production alternative to the current anthraquinone oxidation process. However, the activity is still limited, and new materials and approaches for photocatalytic H2O2 production are highly desired. Our group demonstrated that application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials for photocatalytic H2O2 production via oxygen reduction for the first time [1]. Thanks to the advantages of the unprecedented design flexibility of MOFs, we developed the MOF materials to improve the photocatalytic activity for H2O2 production by the linker functionalization, the missing-linker defects in MOF framework, and the utilization of a two-phase reaction system with hydrophobic MOFs.
