Herein, we present the bioinspired development of amphiphilic photosensitizer and catalyst pairs that self-assemble in lipid membranes to overcome some of these limitations and enable photocatalytic CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0reduction in liposomes using precious metal-free catalysts. Using sodium ascorbate as a sacrificial electron source, a membrane-anchored alkylated cobalt porphyrin demonstrates higher catalytic CO production (1456 vs 312 turnovers) and selectivity (77 vs 11%) compared to its water-soluble nonalkylated counterpart. Time-resolved and steady-state spectroscopy revealed that self-assembly facilitates this performance enhancement by enabling a charge-separation state lifetime increase of up to two orders of magnitude in the dye while allowing for a ninefold faster electron transfer to the catalyst. Spectroelectrochemistry and density functional theory calculations of the alkylated Co porphyrin catalyst support a four-electron-charging mechanism that activates the catalyst prior to catalysis, together with key catalytic intermediates. Our molecular liposome system therefore benefits from membrane immobilization and provides a versatile and efficient platform for photocatalysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a list of publications by\u00a0NordCO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0members on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/publications\/\">Publications<\/a>\u00a0page\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:Self-Assembled Liposomes Enhance Electron Transfer for Efficient Photocatalytic CO2\u00a0Reduction Abstract:Light-driven conversion of CO2\u00a0to chemicals provides a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but homogeneous systems are &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":514,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","hentry","category-research","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/514"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2945,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions\/2945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/nordco2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
