| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research program aims to develop and construct highly efficient photocatalytic water splitting systems that can harvest wide range of solar light spectrum (especially visible light) using inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts and molecular photocatalysts, for achieving clean solar-to-hydrogen conversion in near future. This project also aims to develop new hybridized system consisting of inorganic semiconductor and molecular photocatalysts. We have successfully developed varied new materials and systems that can split water under visible light. Importantly, we have demonstrated that the water oxidation process can be controlled (i.e., 2 electron process for H2O2 production or 4 electrons process for O2 generation) by employing newly designed catalysis systems.
