This study reports a new paradigm in MOF photocatalysis using a microporous titanium oxocluster based metal-organic framework (Ti-MOF) with formate-imprinted active sites, MIP-177-LT, as a highly efficient photocatalyst for H-2 release from formic acid without the need for neutralization of acidity or the use of sacrificial agents or noble metals. Notably, a quantum efficiency of 22% has been determined for the photocatalytic H-2 release, which is highly remarkable for a non-toxic noble metal-free photocatalyst.
On-board hydrogen release from liquid organic carriers is a process that can make feasible the use of H-2 as a transportation fuel. Formic acid is considered as one of the most convenient liquid hydrogen organic carriers, and since it can be easily obtained from CO2, it is water soluble which makes it unnecessary to recover the H-2-depleted byproducts. Compared to the more conventional thermal catalytic decomposition of formic acid, the use of light in combination with a photocatalyst has been much less explored. Herein, we report a new paradigm in MOF photocatalysis with the use of a microporous titanium oxocluster based metal-organic framework (Ti-MOF) endowed with formate-imprinted active sites, namely MIP-177-LT (MIP stands for Materials from Institute of Porous Materials of Paris, LT for Low Temperature), as a highly efficient photocatalyst for H-2 release from formic acid without the need to neutralize acidity or use sacrificial agents or noble metals. Noteworthily, a quantum efficiency of 22% has been determined for the photocatalytic H-2 release that is highly remarkable for a non-toxic noble metal-free photocatalyst.
