Implementing Metal‐to‐Ligand Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductor for Improved Visible‐Near‐Infrared Photocatalysis

Abstract

The coordination of organic semiconductors with metal cations can induce metal-to-ligand charge transfer, which broadens light absorption to cover the visible–near-infrared (vis–NIR) spectrum. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, the g-C3N4-based complex exhibits dramatically enhanced photocatalytic H2 production with excellent durability under vis–NIR irradiation.
