Synthesis of a Zr4(embonate)6–cobalt based superstructure for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Abstract

Herein, we report an efficient method to construct cage-based MOF materials with exposed metal active sites for catalysis. By employing Zr4L6 (L = embonate) cages as precursors for assembly with N-containing ligands and Co2+ ions, a new Zr4L6–Co based chain structure (PTC-318) has been generated through two-step reactions. Interestingly, in the absence of a photosensitizer, PTC-318 exhibits notable photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation.
