0.68% of solar-to-hydrogen efficiency and high photostability of organic-inorganic membrane catalyst.

ABSTRACT: Solar-driven flat-panel H₂O-to-H₂ conversion is an important technology for value-added solar fuel production. However, most frequently used particulate photocatalysts are hard to achieve stable photocatalysis in flat-panel reaction module due to the influence of mechanical shear force. Herein, a highly active CdS@SiO₂-Pt composite with rapid CdS-to-Pt electron transfer and restrained photoexciton recombination was prepared to process into an organic-inorganic membrane by compounding with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This PVDF networked organic-inorganic membrane displays high photostability and excellent operability, achieving improved simulated sunlight-driven alkaline H₂O-to-H₂ conversion activity (213.48 mmol m^-2 h
