Photocatalytic materials that can harvest sunlight and generate hydrogen gas (H2) from water is highly sought after given the enormous energy released and environmentally friendly by-product of water when burning this gas for energy. However, this process requires a material that can undergo a series of electron transfers to generate the electrical potential needed to generate H2 from water molecules and be stable enough to continue production cycles. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one such material that exhibit these properties, as their porous crystalline nature of metal ions and organic linkers offers the ability to tune the electrical potential, generate large absorption extinction coefficients, and rigid stability.
