Abstract
We have fabricated <bold>Zr-MBA-Ru/Re-MOF</bold><italic>via</italic> post-synthetic modification of MOF-808. The integrated catalyst assembly was used to mimic natural photosynthesis for sunlight-driven CO<sub>2</sub> reduction to produce CO in aqueous medium without external sacrificial electron donor.
