Abstract:A highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution system was prepared by using an octupolar molecule as a building block of self‐assembled nanoparticles. The photocatalytic system showed an enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) rate upon the addition of halide ions, which was attributed to an external heavy atom effect enhancing intersystem crossing. The HER rate of the photocatalytic system was proportional to the atomic weight and concentration of halide ion additives, and its maximum HER rate reache… Show more
“…5f ). 67 Specifically, addition of iodide salts was found to increase intersystem crossing, resulting in triplet states with longer lifetimes and achieving an AQY of almost 10% at 500 nm in the presence of Pt co-catalysts and sacrificial ascorbic acid.…”
Photocatalytic systems have attracted research interest as a clean approach to generate energy from abundant sunlight. In this context, developing efficient and robust photocatalytic structures is crucial. Recently, self-assembled organic...
