La5 Ti2 Cu0.9 Ag0.1 S5 O7 Modified with a Molecular Ni Catalyst for Photoelectrochemical H2 Generation.


ABSTRACT: The stable and efficient integration of molecular catalysts into p-type semiconductor materials is a contemporary challenge in photoelectrochemical fuel synthesis. Here, we report the combination of a phosphonated molecular Ni catalyst with a TiO2 -coated La5 Ti2 Cu0.9 Ag0.1 S5 O7 photocathode for visible light driven H2 production. This hybrid assembly provides a positive onset potential, large photocurrents, and high Faradaic yield for more than three hours. A decisive feature of the hybrid electrode is the TiO2 interlayer, which stabilizes the oxysulfide semiconductor and allows for robust attachment of the phosphonated molecular catalyst. This demonstration of an oxysulfide-molecular catalyst photocathode provides a novel platform for integrating molecular catalysts into photocathodes and the large photovoltage of the presented system makes it ideal for pairing with photoanodes.
