Phenanthroline-based ruthenium complexes for enhanced charge transportation in solvent-free ionic liquid electrolyte

Anisotropic phenanthroline-based ruthenium polymers grafted on a titanium metal-organic framework for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…Ti-MOF has been synthesized using a simple solvothermal process 21 . The typical procedure includes the addition of 2.4 mL of TTIP and 2.2 g of 2-aminoterephthalic acid into a suspension of DMF:methanol mixture (36:4 mL).…”

“…The initial report of the conjugated polymer-based photocatalyst was reported in the late 1980's, using poly( p -phenylene), which generates hydrogen through water splitting by using triethylamine 1 . Various attempts to rationalize the activity trends of the modified molecular entities over the hydrogen generation activity have been thoroughly determined using characteristics of hydrogen generation 21 , and spectral absorption 22 . The polymer system immersed over the aqueous media majorly includes the usage of the sacrificial electron donors.…”

“…The polymer system immersed over the aqueous media majorly includes the usage of the sacrificial electron donors. The structural tunability and electron in the usage of polypyridyl-based ruthenium complexes with modification over the pendant moieties to construct polymers that are photophysical and photoelectrochemically stable 21 . Several strategies have been deployed for the synthesis such as ATRP, RAFT, NMP, etc.…”

“…Several strategies have been deployed for the synthesis such as ATRP, RAFT, NMP, etc. 21 – 23 , which can be highly helpful as precursors or cocatalysts, sensitizers for the construction of nanomaterials that enhance light absorption and modify the photophysical properties. The composites are highly cost-effective and the sensitization of polymeric sensitizers over the interactive sites of Ru and Ti-MOF leads to intermolecular hydrogen bonding over the moieties leading to enhanced hydrogen generation activity.…”
