Abstract

Abstract : Molecular NiATSM on p-Si durably photocatalyzed hydrogen evolution from water at practical conditions in acid with greater activity than Ni metal. Abstract : The molecular catalyst diacetyl-bis( N -4-methyl-3-thiosemi-carbazonato)nickel(ii ) (NiATSM) was integrated with Si for light-driven hydrogen evolution from water. Compared to an equivalent loading of Ni metal, the NiATSM/p-Si electrode performed better. Durability of the surface-bound catalyst under operation in acid was achieved without covalent attachment by using Nafion binding.
