Nanostructured Hybrids Based on Tantalum Bromide Octahedral Clusters and Graphene Oxide for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: The generation of hydrogen (H₂) using sunlight has become an essential energy alternative for decarbonization. The need for functional nanohybrid materials based on photo- and electroactive materials and accessible raw materials is high in the field of solar fuels. To reach this goal, single-step synthesis of {Ta₆Brⁱ₁₂}@GO (GO = graphene oxide) nanohybrids was developed by immobilization of [{Ta₆Brⁱ₁₂}Br^a₂(H₂O)^a₄]·4H₂O (i = inner and a = apical positions of the Ta₆ octahedron) on GO nanosheets by taking the advantage of the easy ligand exchange of the apical cluster ligands with the oxygen functionalities of GO. The nanohybrids were chara
