TiO2-mediated visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution by ligand-capped Ru nanoparticles

Ru nanomaterials have recently emerged as potential substitutes for classical Pt-based cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this regard, nanoparticle surface-functionalization through the so-called organometallic approach is a promising strategy towards synthesizing tailored highly...

Summary:Ru nanomaterials have recently emerged as potential substitutes for classical Pt-based cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this regard, nanoparticle surface-functionalization through the so-called organometallic approach is a promising strategy towards synthesizing tailored highly active and durable HER (photo)electrocatalysts with limitless tunability. Herein, efficient (turnover numbers over 480 molH2 molRu-1 and a turnover frequency of 21.5 molH2 h-1 molRu-1; apparent quantum yield of 1.3%) and durable (.
