An electron-hole rich dual-site nickel catalyst for efficient photocatalytic overall water splitting

Vast majority of photocatalysts for hydrogen production relies on additional sacrificial agents and noble metal cocatalysts. It is of great importance yet challenging to achieve photocatalytic overall water splitting with decent performance. Here, the authors report Ni2P based photocatalyst assisted...

Description
Summary:Vast majority of photocatalysts for hydrogen production relies on additional sacrificial agents and noble metal cocatalysts. It is of great importance yet challenging to achieve photocatalytic overall water splitting with decent performance. Here, the authors report Ni2P based photocatalyst assisted by H2O2-craking reaction for overall water splitting with H2 and O2 production of 1507 μmol h−1 g−1 H2 and 702 μmol h−1 g−1.
