Molecular Assemblies Enhance the Performance of Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
Abstract:Hydrogen is one of the most ideal clean fuels because of its high density of energy and environmentally benign combustion product (water). Photocatalytic hydrogen production from water splitting has attracted much attention because it is promising for conversion of sustainable solar energy into chemical energy. In this project, we focus on the construction of a variety of molecular assemblies for hydrogen evolution under illumination of visible light. By modulating energy/electron transfer and long-lived charge separation, we are able to achieve photocatalytic hydrogen productive with higher efficiency and stability in the designed molecular assemblies. For example, hierarchical Sn2Nb2O7 hollow spheres were prepared for the first time via a facile hydrothermal route using bubbles generated in situ from the decomposition of urea as soft templates. Flower-like spherical ZnIn2S4 superstructures about 500 nm in diameter composed of ultrathin 2-3 nm thick mesoporous nanosheets were synthesized in several minutes by facile polyol-mediated hot-injection. These as-obtained hollow spheres and lower-like spherical ZnIn2S4 with a large specific surface area show improved visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen production activity in aqueous solutions. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, a series of artificial [FeFe]-H2ase photocatalytic systems have been constructed using poly(aryl ether) dendrimers, poly(acrylic acid), and chitosan with PS and Fe2S2 active site of [FeFe]-H2ase mimics. Irradiation of these systems with visible light results in the formation of long-lived reduced intermediates, and thus increasing the efficiency and durability of hydrogen photoproduction remarkably.
