Photocatalytic H2 evolution from neutral water with a molecular cobalt catalyst on a dye-sensitised TiO2 nanoparticle.

چکیده
We report on a self-assembled system comprising of a molecular H(2) production cobalt catalyst attached on a ruthenium dye-sensitised TiO(2) nanoparticle. Visible light irradiation of the dispersed nanoparticles in the presence of the sacrificial electron donor triethanolamine produces H(2) photocatalytically in pH neutral water and at room temperature.

Solar H2 evolution in water with modified diketopyrrolopyrrole dyes immobilised on molecular Co and Ni catalyst-TiO2 hybrids.
A series of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) dyes with a terminal phosphonic acid group for attachment to metal oxide surfaces were synthesised and the effect of side chain modification on their properties investigated. The organic photosensitisers feature strong visible light absorption (λ = 400 to 575 nm) and electrochemical and fluorescence studies revealed that the excited state of all dyes provi...
متن کاملDistance dependent charge separation and recombination in semiconductor/molecular catalyst systems for water splitting
The immobilisation of molecular catalysts on semiconductors for solar fuel production is an attractive strategy to exploit electrocatalysts in a heterogeneous photocatalytic environment. Efficient H2 production in such hybrid systems requires effective electronic coupling between the light harvesting unit and the electrocatalyst. Current examples based on non-precious metal complexes include Co...
متن کاملNovel-structured electrospun TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers for high efficient photocatalytic cogeneration of clean water and energy from dye wastewater.
It is still a challenge to photocatalytically cogenerate clean water and energy from dye wastewater owing to the relatively low photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts. In this study, novel-structured TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers were successfully fabricated via facile electrospinning. For the first time, the TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers demonstrated multifunctional ability for concurrent...
متن کاملVersatile Photocatalytic Systems for H2 Generation in Water Based on an Efficient DuBois-Type Nickel Catalyst
The generation of renewable H2 through an efficient photochemical route requires photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from a light harvester to an efficient electrocatalyst in water. Here, we report on a molecular H2 evolution catalyst (NiP) with a DuBois-type [Ni(P2(R')N2(R"))2](2+) core (P2(R')N2(R") = bis(1,5-R'-diphospha-3,7-R"-diazacyclooctane), which contains an outer coordination sphere w...
متن کاملSunlight-promoted photocatalytic hydrogen gas evolution from water-suspended cellulose: a systematic study.
This work presents a systematic study of cellulose (CLS) as a sacrificial biomass for photocatalytic H2 evolution from water. The idea is indeed to couple a largely available and not expensive biomass, and water, with a renewable energy like solar radiation. An aqueous CLS suspension irradiated either at 366 nm (UV-A) or under sunlight in the presence of Pt/TiO2 behaves as a H2 evolving system....
