Multifunctional Polyoxometalate Platforms for Supramolecular Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution*.

ABSTRACT: Multifunctional supramolecular systems are a central research topic in light-driven solar energy conversion. Here, we report a polyoxometalate (POM)-based supramolecular dyad, where two platinum-complex hydrogen evolution catalysts are covalently anchored to an Anderson polyoxomolybdate anion. Supramolecular electrostatic coupling of the system to an iridium photosensitizer enables visible light-driven hydrogen evolution. Combined theory and experiment demonstrate the multifunctionality of the POM, which acts as photosensitizer/catalyst-binding-site^[1] and facilitates light-induced charge-transfer and catalytic turnover. Chemical modification of the Pt-catalyst site leads to increased hydrogen evolution reactivity. Mechanistic studies shed light on the role of the individual components and provide a molecular understanding of the interactions which govern stability and reactivity. The system could serve as a blueprint for multifunctional polyoxometalates in energy conversion and storage.

Sonochemical Hydrogen Production as a Potential Interference in Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis.

Project description:The use of sonication to dissolve or disperse solids in solvents is a common practice in catalytic studies. However, the frequency and power of commercial ultrasonic baths are within the right range to trigger unwanted sonochemical reactions that can be a source of interference. Based on our own experience, we have noted that sonication used to disperse heterogeneous photocatalysts in water-alcohol mixtures as the first step in light-driven hydrogen evolution can lead to hydrogen evolution, which is not related to any photochemical or photocatalytic process. Furthermore, "dark" hydrogen evolution continues even when sonication is stopped, which can cause significant problems for time-dependent studies. To the best of our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been described as a potential issue for light-driven hydrogen evolution studies, and it should, therefore, be brought to the attention of the energy conversion research community to avoid errors in ongoing and future hydrogen evolution studies.

Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution Using Planarized Conjugated Polymer Photocatalysts.

Project description:Linear poly(p-phenylene)s are modestly active UV photocatalysts for hydrogen production in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. Introduction of planarized fluorene, carbazole, dibenzo[b,d]thiophene or dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone units greatly enhances the H2 evolution rate. The most active dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone co-polymer has a UV photocatalytic activity that rivals TiO2, but is much more active under visible light. The dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone co-polymer has an apparent quantum yield of 2.3?% at 420?nm, as compared to 0.1?% for platinized commercial pristine carbon nitride.

Efficient Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution Using a Thiosemicarbazone-Nickel (II) Complex.

Project description:In the following work, we carried out a systematic study investigating the behavior of a thiosemicarbazone-nickel (II) complex (NiTSC-OMe) as a molecular catalyst for photo-induced hydrogen production. A comprehensive comparison regarding the combination of three different chromophores with this catalyst has been performed, using [Ir(ppy) 2 (bpy)]PF 6 , [Ru(bpy) 3 ]Cl 2 and [ZnTMePy]PCl 4 as photosensitizers. Thorough evaluation of the parameters affecting the hydrogen evolution experiments (i.e., concentration, pH, solvent nature, and ratio), has been performed in order to probe the most efficient photocatalytic system, which was comprised by NiTSC-OMe and [Ir(ppy) 2 (bpy)]PF 6 as catalyst and chromophore, respectively. The electrochemical together with the photophysical investigation clarified the properties of this photocatalytic system and allowed us to propose a possible reaction mechanism for hydrogen production.

Polyoxometalate-based supramolecular gel.

Project description:Self-assemblyings of surfactant-encapsulated Wells-Dawson polyoxometalates (SEPs) nanobuilding blocks in butanone and esters yielded supramolecular gels showing thermo and photo responsive properties. The gels can be further polymerized if unsaturated esters were used and subsequently electrospinned into nanowires and non-woven mats. The as-prepared non-woven mats have a Young's modulus as high as 542.55 MPa. It is believed that this supramolecular gel is a good platform for polyoxometalates processing.

Solar light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over ZnIn2S4 loaded with transition-metal sulfides.

Project description:A series of Pt-loaded MS/ZnIn2S4 (MS = transition-metal sulfide: Ag2S, SnS, CoS, CuS, NiS, and MnS) photocatalysts was investigated to show various photocatalytic activities depending on different transition-metal sulfides. Thereinto, CoS, NiS, or MnS-loading lowered down the photocatalytic activity of ZnIn2S4, while Ag2S, SnS, or CuS loading enhanced the photocatalytic activity. After loading 1.0 wt.% CuS together with 1.0 wt.% Pt on ZnIn2S4, the activity for H2 evolution was increased by up to 1.6 times, compared to the ZnIn2S4 only loaded with 1.0 wt.% Pt. Here, transition-metal sulfides such as CuS, together with Pt, acted as the dual co-catalysts for the improved photocatalytic performance. This study indicated that the application of transition-metal sulfides as effective co-catalysts opened up a new way to design and prepare high-efficiency and low-cost photocatalysts for solar-hydrogen conversion.

Hydrogen-Bonding-Driven 3D Supramolecular Assembly of Peptidomimetic Zipper.

Project description:Hydrogen-bonding-driven three-dimensional (3D) assembly of a peptidomimetic zipper has been established for the first time by using an α/AApeptide zipper that assembles into a de novo lattice arrangement through two layers of hydrogen-bonded linker-directed interactions. Via a covalently bridged 1D 413-helix, drastic enhancement in stability has been achieved in the formed 3D crystalline supramolecular architecture as evidenced by gas-sorption studies. As the first example of an unnatural peptidic zipper, the dimensional augmentation of the zipper differs from metal-coordinated strategies, and may have general implications for the preparation of peptidic functional materials for a variety of future applications.

A thiomolybdate cluster for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution: comparison of homogeneous and heterogeneous approaches.

Project description:This study investigates the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency of two photosystems incorporating an all-inorganic molecular thiomolybdate [Mo3S13]2- cluster as a HER catalyst. First, we delve into the performance of a homogeneous [Mo3S13]2-/[Ru(bpy)3]2+ (Mo3/Ru) dyad which demonstrates high turnover frequencies (TOFs) and apparent quantum yields (AQYs) at 445 nm approaching the level of 0.5%, yet its performance is marked by pronounced deactivation. In contrast, a heterogeneous approach involves anchoring [Mo3S13]2- onto graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) nanosheets through weak electrostatic association with its triazine/heptazine scaffold. [Mo3S13]2-/GCN (Mo3/GCN) displays effective H2 generation under visible light, with TOF metrics on par with those of its homogeneous analog. Although substantial leaching of [Mo3S13]2- species from the Mo3/GCN surface occurs, the remaining {Mo3}-based centers demonstrate impressive stability, leading to enduring HER performance, starkly distinguishing it from the homogeneous Mo3/Ru photosystem. Photoluminescence (PL) quenching experiments confirm that the performance of Mo3/GCN is not limited by the quality of the inorganic interface, but could be optimized by using higher surface area supports or a higher concentration of [Mo3S13]2- sites. Our findings showcase complexities underlying the evaluation and comparison of photosystems comprising well-defined catalytic centers and pave the way for developing analogous surface-supported (photo)catalysts with broad use in energy applications.

Supramolecular copolymerization driven by integrative self-sorting of hydrogen-bonded rosettes.

Project description:Molecular recognition to preorganize noncovalently polymerizable supramolecular complexes is a characteristic process of natural supramolecular polymers, and such recognition processes allow for dynamic self-alteration, yielding complex polymer systems with extraordinarily high efficiency in their targeted function. We herein show an example of such molecular recognition-controlled kinetic assembly/disassembly processes within artificial supramolecular polymer systems using six-membered hydrogen-bonded supramolecular complexes (rosettes). Electron-rich and poor monomers are prepared that kinetically coassemble through a temperature-controlled protocol into amorphous coaggregates comprising a diverse mixture of rosettes. Over days, the electrostatic interaction between two monomers induces an integrative self-sorting of rosettes. While the electron-rich monomer inherently forms toroidal homopolymers, the additional electrostatic interaction that can also guide rosette association allows helicoidal growth of supramolecular copolymers that are comprised of an alternating array of two monomers. Upon heating, the helicoidal copolymers undergo a catastrophic transition into amorphous coaggregates via entropy-driven randomization of the monomers in the rosette.

Photoswitchable Zirconium MOF for Light-Driven Hydrogen Storage.

Project description:Here, we report a new photosensitive metal-organic framework (MOF) that was constructed via the modification of UiO-66-NH2 with diarylethene molecules (DAE, 4-(5-Methoxy-1,2-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)-4-furan-2,5-dione). The material that was obtained was a highly crystalline porous compound. The photoresponse of the modified MOF was observed via UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy. Most of the DAE molecules inside of the UiO-66-pores had an open conformation after synthesis. However, the equilibrium was able to be shifted further toward an open conformation using visible light irradiation with a wavelength of 520 nm. Conversely, UV-light with a wavelength of 450 nm initiated the transformation of the photoresponsive moieties inside of the pores to a closed modification. We have shown that this transformation could be used to stimulate hydrogen adsorption-desorption processes. Specifically, visible light irradiation increased the H2 capacity of modified MOF, while UV-light decreased it. A similar hybrid material with DAE moieties in the UiO-66 scaffold was applied for hydrogen storage for the first time. Additionally, the obtained results are promising for smart H2 storage that is able to be managed via light stimuli.
