Constructing a P2W18O626–-Containing Hybrid Photocatalyst via Noncovalent Interactions for Enhanced H2 Production

“…Traditional noble metal catalysts (e.g., Pt, Rh, and Ir and their oxides) , are too expensive for large-scale applications . To lower the cost, earth-abundant transition-metal-based compounds have been explored extensively. − Among different materials, polyoxometalate (POM) compounds exhibit a wide variety of elemental compositions and versatile molecular structures, leading to their interesting physical and chemical properties. ,,− Among many types of POMs, the Wells–Dawson type, with the general formula [X 2 M 18 O 62 ] n − , has been widely exploited for PC water splitting reactions because of their ease of synthesis and unique chemical/electron-transfer properties. For example, Duan and co-workers have reported a variety of Wells–Dawson-type POMs embedded in the pores of REDOX-active coordination polymers or other material matrixes for PC hydrogen evolution. , They have shown that the Dawson-type P 2 W 18 polyanion plays a key role in affecting the rate of hydrogen evolution by synergistically interacting with other substances.…”

“…The realization of a carbon-neutral future relies on reforming the energy structure, which urges the exploration of sustainable energy resources to replace fossil fuels. Among different alternative energy options, photocatalysis has gained widespread attention and research interests. , The principle of this technology involves the absorption of solar energy by a photocatalyst, which then activates the dissociation of water molecules and produces H 2 and O 2 . − The production of hydrogen fuel in this process does not emit carbon dioxide, making the generated hydrogen gas a clean energy supply. With the continuous in-depth research on the photocatalytic (PC) processes, it is believed that H 2 production from photocatalysis might be a promising solution for the renewable energy challenge. , …”
