Abstract
The photodriven H2 generation from water splitting, providing a high-performance energy source, has been recognized to be a promising pathway for solar energy conversion. However, the efficient charge separation for photocatalysts remains a critical issue. In this work, we have rationally encapsulated a Co(II) molecular photcatalyst, [CoII(TPA)Cl][Cl] (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), inside the cages of a metal–organic framework (MOF) photosensitizer, MIL-125-NH2, for visible-light-driven H2 production. This noble-metal-free composite photocatalyst facilitates the photoinduced charge transfer from MIL-125-NH2 to the Co(II) complex and greatly improves the spatial charge separation, thus significantly boosting the photocatalytic efficiency of H2 production. In addition, MIL-125-NH2 behaves as a host matrix to achieve hetrogenization of the Co(II) complex, and thus, the composite can be well-recycled.
