Chitosan confinement enhances hydrogen photogeneration from a mimic of the diiron subsite of [FeFe]-hydrogenase

Naturally occurring hydrogenase enzymes are capable of efficient hydrogen production but low stability and high cost limits their industrial use. Here, the authors show that chitosan encapsulation improves the catalytic efficiency of a mimic of the diiron subsite of the H-cluster of [FeFe]-hydrogenase.

Rational design of isostructural 2D porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks for tunable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) present well-defined materials for constructing structure-property-activity relationships. Herein, authors explore isostructural porphyrinic two-dimensional COFs with tunable of photocatalytic H₂ production rates arising from tailored charge-carrier dynamics.

Solar-driven defluorination via hydroxyl radical spillover for complete mineralization of organofluorine pollutants without fluoride byproducts

Current strategies for the remediation of fluorinated organic pollutants suffer from high energy consumption and secondary pollution risk. Here, the authors present a solar-powered mineralization strategy using cerium oxide/mesoporous silica heterojunction photocatalysts that achieves complete defluorination of different types of organofluorine contaminants, including fluorinated e-waste, fluoro-antibiotics and perfluorinated surfactants.

Semiconducting quantum dots for artificial photosynthesis

Semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) can serve as light-absorbing components in efficient artificial photosynthetic systems for H₂ evolution. This Review describes how we can optimize QDs for H₂ evolution using sacrificial reductants, before moving on to sustainable strategies for the photolysis of biomass or H₂O.
