<div>Here we show for the first time a MOF that is photocatalytically</div><div>active for the light-assisted CO<sub>2</sub> methanation at mild conditions</div><div>(215 °C) without the inclusion of metallic nanoparticles or any</div><div>sacrificial agent. The presence of Cu<sub>2</sub>O nanoparticles causes a 50 % increase in the photocatalytic activity. These results pave the way to developping efficient and cost-effective materials for CO<sub>2</sub> elimination.</div>
