Abstract

Cobalt-based metal–organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) were synthesized and subsequently deposited onto titanium aimed at facilitating photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production from seawater. This composite photoanode exhibited improved light absorption, enhanced charge separation, and efficient charge transport. Additionally, hypochlorite (ClO⁻) was also produced, which can be utilized for disinfection purposes, thereby highlighting its potential contributions to energy and environmental sustainability.
