Journal ArticleDOI

A metal-free polymeric photocatalyst for hydrogen production from water under visible light

TL;DR: It is shown that an abundant material, polymeric carbon nitride, can produce hydrogen from water under visible-light irradiation in the presence of a sacrificial donor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalyst releasing hydrogen from water

TL;DR: An advance in the catalysis of the overall splitting of water under visible light is described: the new catalyst is a solid solution of gallium and zinc nitrogen oxide, modified with nanoparticles of a mixed oxide of rhodium and chromium, which functions as a promising and efficient photocatalyst in promoting the evolution of hydrogen gas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic Water Splitting: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art and future challenges in photocatalytic water splitting with a focus on the recent progress of our own research are discussed. But the focus is on the development of cocatalysts and related physical and materials chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymer semiconductors for artificial photosynthesis: hydrogen evolution by mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride with visible light.

TL;DR: It is shown that the efficiency of hydrogen production by photochemical water reduction can be improved by approximately 1 order of magnitude by introducing the right type of mesoporosity into polymeric C(3)N(4).
Journal ArticleDOI

GaN:ZnO Solid Solution as a Photocatalyst for Visible-Light-Driven Overall Water Splitting

TL;DR: This is the first example of achieving overall water splitting by a photocatalyst with a band gap in the visible light region, which opens the possibility of new non-oxide-type photocatalysts for energy conversion.
