Metal Single‐Atom Cocatalyst on Carbon Nitride for the Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Effects of Metal Species (Adv. Funct. Mater. 33/2023)

Single-Atom Catalysts In article number 2303321, Yuichi Negishi, Tokuhisa Kawawaki, and co-workers create single-atom (SA) photocatalysts with high loading weight. Pd SA-loaded carbon nitride (g-C3N4) exhibit the highest photocatalytic H2-evolution activity regarding various metal species because their electronic structures are suitable for proton adsorption. Finally, in comparison to Pd-nanoparticles cocatalyst, 8.6 times higher H2-evolution rate per active site of Pd SA is achieved.
