IMDEA-Energy Frameworks (IEFs) have emerged as potential platforms for hydrogen generation because the easy tunability of their electrochemical properties compared to other semiconductors. Here, we propose two new competitive porous polymers, i.e. IEF-11 and IEF-13, showing improved performance in green hydrogen generation compared to conventional TiO2.
Description
Water splitting using sun irradiation appears as a challenging process to generate solar fuels, particularly green hydrogen. However, efficient photocatalysts are required to circumvent the energetic demand of the involved reactions. In this context, IMDEA-Energy Frameworks (IEFs) have emerged as potential platforms for hydrogen generation because the easy tunability of their electrochemical properties compared to other semiconductors. Here, we propose two new competitive porous polymers, i.e. IEF-11 and IEF-13, showing improved performance in green hydrogen generation compared to conventional TiO2.
Advantages and innovation
This new class of porous materials, known as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) present several advantages compared to classical adsorbent and catalytic materials (carbons, zeolites, silicas):
