Water-soluble photocatalysts based on porphyrin-carbon dot conjugates produce H 2 under visible light irradiation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: was obtained in the presence of appropriate sacrificial electron donors and with no additional metallic co-catalysts. It is noteworthy that the covalent attachment as well as the zinc-metallation of the porphyrin moiety were proved vital for the efficiency of the present system. The present study constitutes an innovative approach for artificial photosynthesis avoiding the use of costly materials such as noble metals.
