CeNS team builds metal-free organic photocatalyst for solar hydrogen from water

•Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, have combined a naturally occurring amino acid (aspartic acid) with the light-absorbing organic molecule perylene diimide to make a completely metal-free photocatalyst for splitting water with sunlight.
•The molecules self-assemble in water into ordered two-dimensional nanosheets, broadening light absorption, improving charge separation and increasing catalytic surface area without any change in chemical composition; the assembled material produced nearly 18% higher photocurrent than its bulk form.
•Led by Dr Goutam Ghosh and Dr Ashutosh K. Singh, the work was published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A and points to solar hydrogen production without costly or scarce precious metals.
