Journal ArticleDOI
A metal-free polymeric photocatalyst for hydrogen production from water under visible light
Xinchen Wang,Kazuhiko Maeda,Arne Thomas,Kazuhiro Takanabe,Gang Xin,Johan M. Carlsson,Kazunari Domen,Markus Antonietti +7 more
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
Kazuhiko Maeda,Kentaro Teramura,Daling Lu,Tsuyoshi Takata,Nobuo Saito,Yasunobu Inoue,Kazunari Domen +6 more
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
Kazuhiko Maeda,Kazunari Domen +1 more
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.
Xinchen Wang,Kazuhiko Maeda,Xiufang Chen,Kazuhiro Takanabe,Kazunari Domen,Yidong Hou,Xianzhi Fu,Markus Antonietti +7 more
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
Kazuhiko Maeda,Tsuyoshi Takata,Michikazu Hara,Nobuo Saito,Yasunobu Inoue,Hisayoshi Kobayashi,Kazunari Domen +6 more
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.
