Promoting H2 generation of BiFeO3 photocathodes by a catalyst-sensitizer dyad linked with Sn(dipicolinate)2

Abstract

An innovative method for the fabrication of a catalyst-sensitizer dyad-based photoelectrode was developed by using the coordinated interaction between the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic group and Sn4+. A dyad (C1 + PDI) was loaded on the mesoporous BiFeO3 (BFO) photocathode for light-driven H2 generation. The dyad could expand the light absorption range and promote the surface charge separation of BFO, resulting in an enhanced photocurrent.
