Efficient and stable photocatalytic H2 evolution by self-assembly of zirconium(iv) coordination with perylene diimide supramolecules under visible light irradiation

Self-assembly of Zr^IV coordination with PDI supramolecules can facilitate separation and transfer of charge carriers. The photocatalyst P-PMPDI-Zr (1 : 0.25) achieved a superior HER activity of 50.46 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ with an AQY of 11.7% at 630 nm.
