The photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2) through the selective 2e~- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) from O_2 and H_2O stands out as an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective method for generating this essential chemical.Unfortunately,the widespread application of most photocatalysts...
Artificial photosynthesis of H2O2using earth-abundant water and oxygen is a promising approach to achieve scalable and cost-effective solar fuel production. Recent studies on this topic have made significant progress, yet are mainly focused on using organic polymers. This set of photocatalysts is susce...
Due to the asymmetric structure of MoSH monolayer, it has intrinsic electric field with dipole moment of 0.24 D. Moreover, we demonstrate that 2D Janus MoSH monolayer exhibits high catalytic activity for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with overpotential 0.04 V and oxygen evolution ...
Photocatalytic overall water splitting can be achieved using Z-scheme systems that mimic natural photosynthesis by combining dissimilar semiconductors in series. However, coupling well-suited H- and O-evolving components remains challenging. Here, we fabricate a Z-scheme system for photocatalytic overall ...
Converting solar energy into hydrogen (H2) by photocatalytic water splitting is a promising approach to simultaneously address the increasing energy demand and environmental issues. Half decade has passed since the discovery of photo-induced water splitting phenomenon on TiO2photoanode, while the solar to...

The conversion of solar energy to chemical energy is a promising way of generating renewable energy. Hydrogen production by means of water splitting over semiconductor photocatalysts is a simple, cost-effective approach to large-scale solar hydrogen synt
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied extensively in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the water oxidation reaction (WOR) with sacrificial reagents, but overall photocatalytic water splitting using MOFs has remained challenging, principally because of the fast recombination of photo-...
