Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, hybrid photocatalysts that enable efficient Sun-light absorption, hormation of hot electrons with high reduction energy, and reduction reaction has been developed. Target reacions are selective photochemical molecular transformations including H2 evolution from water and CO2 reduction to CO. In comparison with inherent properties of complexes in solution, such hybrid materials exhibit unexpected physicochemical properties that are induced by not only both steric- and electrostatic effect within the restricted void spaces, but also the nature of the surface functional groups on the host materials.
