A cobalt‐based metal – organic framework as cocatalyst on BiVO4 photoanode for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation by Zhang, Wang, Li, Rui, Zhao, Xin, Chen, Zhong, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Zhou, Kun

“…[Co2(bim)4], with porosity and abundant metal sites, exhibits a high surface charge‐separation efficiency (83 % at 1.2 V versus RHE), leading to the enhanced PEC activity. This work will bring new insight into the development of MOF materials as competent cocatalysts for PEC water splitting applications.…”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”
