Abstract

Herein, we illustrate the preparation of a covalent connected peptide–porphyrin hybrid (Fmoc-FF-(Zn)Por). The thorough investigation of its self-organization features demonstrated that Fmoc-FF-(Zn)Por self-assembles into either spheres or fibrils by altering the solvent mixture. Interestingly, photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution experiments revealed that fibrils were more efficient towards H2 production compared to spheres.
