Supporting information for Fabrication of Cd(II)-MOF-based ternary photocatalytic composite materials for H2 production via gel-to-crystal approach

Ternary 3D architectures of CdS QDs/graphene/ZnIn2S4 heterostructures for efficient photocatalytic H2 production.

Highly efficient hydrogen production can be achieved by three-dimensional (3D) architectures of CdS quantum dots (QDs) incorporated in the porous assembly of marigold-like ZnIn2S4 heterostructures coupled with graphene, leading to an efficient electron transfer between them and the enhancement of the ZnIn2S4 photostability. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electr...

New Superhard Ternary Borides in Composite Materials

Superhard substances are those a hardness above 20 GPa, i.e. higher than that of corundum (Kislii et al.,1988) or with a Vickers hardness Hv exceeding 40 GPa (Sologenko&Gregorianz, 2005). The ten utmost non-metal substances and refractory compounds form a "hardness pyramid" (Kislii et al.,1988) diamond being on top, followed by cubic-boron nitride and boron carbide. Metal-like ones form a simil...

The facile synthesis of mesoporous g-C3N4 with highly enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution performance.

Mesoporous g-C3N4 has been obtained by a facile sucrose-mediated approach via thermal condensation of sucrose and melamine for the first time. The mesoporous g-C3N4 presents a much higher BET surface area and displays highly enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution performance.

Photocatalytic H2 production from water with rhenium and cobalt complexes.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production in pure water for three component systems using a series of rhenium-based photosensitizers (PS) and cobalt-based water reduction catalysts (WRC), with triethanolamine (TEOA) as an irreversible electron donor, is described. Besides the feasibility of this reaction in water, key findings are reductive quenching of the excited state of the PS by TEOA (k(q) = 5-8 ...
