Effect of Axial Coordination of Iron Porphyrin on Their Nanostructures and Photocatalytic Performance

Enough exposure of an active face is a key factor of nanocatalysis for sustainable energy conversion. Here, we exhibit the effect of axial coordination of organic metal complex molecules on the morphology evolution and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) activity of organic nanocrystals (ONCs)....

Description
Summary:Enough exposure of an active face is a key factor of nanocatalysis for sustainable energy conversion. Here, we exhibit the effect of axial coordination of organic metal complex molecules on the morphology evolution and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) activity of organic nanocrystals (ONCs). The three series of iron porphyrin (FeTPPX, X = Cl, O, and OH) ONCs are controllably synthesized via the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted chemical reaction at different pH values. The uniform zero-dimensional FeTPPCl ONCs, ultrafine one-dimensional [FeTPP]2O ONCs with a diameter of ∼35 nm, and ultrathin two-dimensional FeTPPOH·H2O ONCs with the thickness of a crystal cell (
