Abstract
AbstractIn this report, a 2D MOF nanosheet derived Pd single‐atom catalyst, denoted as Pd‐MOF, was fabricated and examined for visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This Pd‐MOF can provide a remarkable photocatalytic activity (a H2 production rate of 21.3 mmol/gh in the visible range), which outperforms recently reported Pt‐MOFs (with a H2 production rate of 6.6 mmol/gh) with a similar noble metal loading. Notably, this high efficiency of Pd‐MOF is not due to different chemical environment of the metal center, nor by changes in the spectral light absorption. The higher performance of the Pd‐MOF in comparison to the analogue Pt‐MOF is attributed to the longer lifetime of the photogenerated electron‐hole pairs and higher charge transfer efficiency.
