A Ti-MOF Decorated With a Pt Nanoparticle Cocatalyst for Efficient Photocatalytic H₂ Evolution: A Theoretical Study.

ABSTRACT: Pt nanoparticles (NPs) are often used as cocatalysts to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen production catalyzed by the metal organic framework (MOF) materials. The catalytic efficiency of many Pt/MOF systems can be greatly improved when Pt NPs are used as cocatalysts. In this work, the Pt/20%-MIL-125-(SCH₃)₂ was chosen as the template material to understand the functional role of a Pt metal cocatalyst in the catalytic process. Experimentally, the catalytic activity of Pt/20%-MIL-125-(SCH₃)₂ is more than 100 times that of the system without the help of Pt NPs. Firstly, we proposed a searching algorithm, which is based on the combined Monte Carlo (MC) method and principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm, to find that the most probable adsorptio
