Achieving light-driven splitting of water with high efficiency remains a challenging task on the way to solar fuel exploration. In this work, combine advantages heterogeneous and homogeneous photosystems, we covalently anchor noble-metal- carbon-free thiomolybdate [Mo3S13]2- clusters onto photoactive metal oxide supports act as molecular co-catalysts for photocatalytic splitting. We demonstrate that strong surface-limited binding surfaces takes place. The attachment involves loss majority...
Abstract Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for photocatalytic water splitting reactions, but examples of visible light‐responsive, catalytically active, and stable MOFs still rare. A detailed investigation is conducted COK‐47 – a recently described MOF comprising 2D Ti‐O 6 secondary building units (SBUs) toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), showing how overall particle morphology, surface area, missing ligand defects central parameters governing the material's...

Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles have attracted widespread attention as lubrication additives due to their tunable structures and surface effects. However, solid properties been rarely explored. This work introduces the positive role of moisture in case a newly described Ti-based MOF (COK-47) powder. COK-47 achieves an 8.5-fold friction reduction compared AISI 304 steel-on-steel sliding under room air. In addition, maintains similarly low coefficient (0.1-0.2) on various...
A series of intermetallic Pt–Zn nanaoparticles decorated on a TiO 2 support was designed via direct vapour–solid synthesis approach, and their co-catalytic performance towards the light-driven hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) investigated.

Achieving efficient photocatalytic water splitting remains one of the most vital challenges in photocatalysis field, as performance contemporary heterogeneous catalysts is still limited by their insufficient activity and low predictability. To address this challenge, work takes inspiration from concept single-metal-site (HSMSCs) follows idea site-isolation, aiming towards single-site co-catalyst species a higher atom-utilization efficiency. We synthesized set photocatalysts through an...
This study demonstrates the potential of a novel 2D-SBU COK-47-Ti MOF for visible-light-driven wastewater treatment through selective adsorption and photodegradation shows its excellent performance superior to that TiO 2 MIL-125-Ti.
In water purification technologies, long-term stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in aqueous environments is essential for practical development. This research introduces a novel synthesis approach using dual ligands to fabricate mixed-coordination Cu-based MOFs: Cu2(Hbtc)2(bpe)2 (TUW-1) and Cu2(Hbtc)2(4,4’-bipy)2(H2O)2] (TUW-2). Both maintain their structural integrity at least 365 days under various conditions. Additionally, they exhibit remarkable nitrate adsorption capacity...
Abstract Thermal treatments can have detrimental effects on the photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution performance and impact formation mechanism of active state surface‐supported co‐catalysts. In this work, a range Ni‐based co‐catalysts is investigated immobilized TiO , evaluated their H rates in situ over 21 h, analyzed samples at various stages with comprehensive set spectroscopic microscopy techniques. It found that achieving optimal (HER) requires right Ni 0 :Ni 2+ ratio, rather than...
