Abstract

Abstract : Encapsulation of cobalt catalyst within the pores of a photoresponsive MOF results in very efficient and fully recyclable noble metal-free photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution from water under visible light illumination. Abstract : We present a synthetic strategy for the efficient encapsulation of a derivative of a well-defined cobaloxime proton reduction catalyst within a photoresponsive metal–organic framework (NH2 -MIL-125(Ti) ). The resulting hybrid systemCo@MOF is demonstrated to be a robust heterogeneous composite material. Furthermore, Co@MOF is an efficient and fully recyclable noble metal-free catalyst system for light-driven hydrogen evolution from water under visible light illumination.
