Assembling Polyoxo-Titanium Clusters and CdS Nanoparticles to a Porous Matrix for Efficient and Tunable H2 -Evolution Activities with Visible Light

Adv Mater. 2017 Feb;29(5). doi: 10.1002/adma.201603369. Epub 2016 Nov 29.

Abstract

Polyoxo-titanium clusters (PTCs) are applied to construct highly efficient ternary PTC/CdS/MIL-101 visible-light-range H2 -evolution photocatalysts. The application of PTCs not only increases the photocatalytic activities but also provides a molecular tool to tune them.
