Recent Advances in Poly‐Heptazine Imide and Based Materials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…This strategy is simple to use and inexpensive to deploy. [44] In typical photocatalytic H 2 production experiments, photocatalysts are dissolved in liquid solutions and a sacrificial agent is added to capture photo-induced holes. The PHI and based materials offers a number of distinguishing qualities as a photocatalyst that makes them a standout photocatalyst including non-toxic nature, low cost, ease of synthesis, favourable visible-light absorbance, water solvability and appropriate electronic redox levels.…”

“…Three easy steps can be used to demonstrate how the water splitting method of hydrogen evolution works. [44] Initially, the formation of electron-hole pairs as a result of photon absorption takes place. The separation and movement of previously created electrons and holes occurs in the second stage.…”

Advances in zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-based catalysts for photo-/electrocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and N2 reduction applications

“…16 Kumar and co-workers investigated the synergistic effects and electronic properties of ZIFs with other catalysts, focusing on the band structure, charge transfer mechanism, and activity. 17 Ahmad et al comprehensively summarized the construction methods of MOF-derived single-atom catalysts and systematically introduced several photocatalytic and electrocatalytic applications for energy conversion and storage. 18 To date, the comprehensive properties and the advantages of ZIFs in terms of the modulation of the kinetics for charge transfer and catalytic reaction, which govern activity and product selectivity during catalysis, are still missing.…”

Quantum Dot/ZIF-67/ZIF-8 Heterostructure for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

“…The development model with unified fossil fuels as the main energy source brings about energy exhaustion and environmental pollution. − The challenge of developing green, safe, and renewable new energy sources is still ongoing. − The technology of photocatalytic hydrogen production has the advantages of wide energy sources, rich reserves, and green and environmental protection preparation process, which has attracted wide attention. − Since 1972, scientists have worked on the process of converting solar energy into hydrogen energy while developing a variety of semiconductor photocatalysts, including metal oxides, − metal sulfides, , phosphide, and organic polymers. − Among them, zeolite structures (ZIFs), composed of tetrahedral coordination transition metal cations (Zn or Co) and imidazole-based ligand (Im) junctions with the advantages of high porosity, adjustable frame size, and large surface area are considered potential ideal host materials for the development of high-performance photocatalysts and have been widely studied as star materials in recent years. − …”
