Selective supported catalysts have emerged as a promising approach to enhance carrier separation, particularly in the realm of photocatalytic hydrogen production. Herein, a pioneering exploration involves the loading of PdS and Pt catalyst onto g-CN nanosheets to construct g-CN@PdS@Pt nanocomposites. The photocatalytic activity of nanocomposites was evaluated under visible light and full spectrum irradiation. The results show that g-CN@PdS@Pt nanocomposites exhibit excellent properties. Under visible light irradiation, these nanocomposites exhibit a remarkable production rate of 1289 μmol·g·h, marking a staggering 60-fold increase compared to g-CN@Pt (20.9 μmol·g·h). Furthermore, when subjected to full spectrum irradiation, the hydrogen production efficiency of g-CN@PdS@Pt-3 nanocomposites reaches an impressive 11,438 μmol·g·h, representing an eightfold enhancement compared to g-CN@Pt (1452 μmol·g·h) under identical conditions. Detailed investigations into the microstructure and optical properties of g-CN@PdS catalysts were conducted, shedding light on the mechanisms governing photocatalytic hydrogen production. This study offers valuable insights into the potential of these nanocomposites and their pivotal role in advancing photocatalysis.

A series of new (donor)₂-donor-π-acceptor (D2-D-π-A) and (acceptor)₂-donor-π-acceptor (A2-D-π-A) organic photosensitizers based on the framework of (Z)-2-cyano-3-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid have been synthesized and characterized. By incorporating groups with different electron-donating or withdrawing abilities, such as dibenzothiophene (DBT), dibenzofuran (DBF), and triazine (TA), into the triphenylamine segment, their photophysical properties have been regulated. Theoretical calculations were used to explore how various donor-acceptor combinations influence their hydrogen production performance.

Pairing photocatalytic 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline semi-dehydrogenation reaction (THIQ-SDR) with two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) is a green solar to chemical strategy by simultaneously utilizing the photo-excited electrons and holes. However, it is still short of high-efficiency photocatalyst to drive two reactions above. In the present work, crystalline pyrene-thiourea/urea covalent organic frameworks (COF-Py-S and -O) were synthesized and demonstrated as high-performance metal-free photocatalysts.

The structural isomerism of atomically precise nanoclusters provides a preeminent theoretical model to investigate the structure-property relationships. Herein, we synthesized three bowl-like polyoxometalate (POM)-encapsulated Ag nanoclusters (denoted as {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1, {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1a, and {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-2) via a facile one-pot solvothermal approach. Among them, for the first time, an unprecedented isomeric {Ag14}10+ nanoclusters are obtained in polyoxoanions {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1 and {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-2, which should be probably induced by the different distribution of coordinating O atoms in two isomeric bowl-like {Sb3W30} ligands.
