Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution was achieved by photoirradiation of mesoporous silica-alumina supporting an organic photosensitiser in the presence of metal salts, which were converted into an H2-evolution catalyst in situ. Not only precious Pt but also earth-abundant Cu acted as an H2-evolution catalyst for the first time in the photocatalytic H2 evolution system using an organic photosensitiser.
