Metal–Organic Frameworks as Promising Photosensitizers for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Ti‐based metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are demonstrated as promising photosensitizers for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Photocurrents of TiO(2) nano wire photoelectrodes can be improved under visible light through sensitization with aminated Ti‐based MOFs. As a host, other sensitizer...

Sumario:Ti‐based metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are demonstrated as promising photosensitizers for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Photocurrents of TiO(2) nano wire photoelectrodes can be improved under visible light through sensitization with aminated Ti‐based MOFs. As a host, other sensitizers or catalysts such as Au nanoparticles can be incorporated into the MOF layer thus further improving the PEC water splitting efficiency. [Image: see text]
