Abstract

Abstract : An electron-donating strategy is proposed to guide the construction of novel co-catalyst-free MOF photocatalysts. The well-designed CdS-based MOF exhibits an exceptional photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution. Abstract : Herein, an interesting electron-donating strategy is proposed to guide the construction of novel CdS-based MOFs for co-catalyst-free photocatalytic H2 evolution in the presence of triethanolamine as the hole-scavenger. The optimally designed CdS-based MOF exhibits an exceptional H2 -evolution rate of 26.1 mmol g −1 h −1 which is almost the highest rate among the reported co-catalyst-free MOF systems.
