A novel triphenylamine functionalized bithiazole–metal complex with C60 for photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation

Abstract

A series of novel cost-effective nanocomposite photocatalysts, containing a triphenylamine functionalized bithiazole–metal complex and C60, have been synthesized and systematically characterized. The bithiazole–metal complexes with C60 serve both as a photosensitizer and a photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution under visible-light irradiation, and their photocatalytic activities are approximately 4–6 times higher than those of the corresponding complexes.
