Abstract

Abstract : The covalent assembly between a cobalt diimine-dioxime complex and a fullerenic moiety results in enhanced catalytic properties in terms of overpotential requirement for H2 evolution and allows its integration in an operating photocathode. Abstract : The covalent assembly between a cobalt diimine-dioxime complex and a fullerenic moiety results in enhanced catalytic properties in terms of overpotential requirement for H2 evolution. The interaction between the fullerene moiety and PCBM heterojunction further allows for the easy integration of the cobalt diimine-dioxime – fullerene catalyst with a poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT):[6, 6]-phenyl-C61 -butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction, yielding hybrid photoelectrodes for H2 evolution from near-neutral aqueous solutions.
