Zn single-atom loaded TiO2 derived from Ti-MOF for high hydrogen evolution activity under visible light

Key Points

• Hydrogen evolution activity significantly increases due to the incorporation of zinc single atoms into titanium dioxide.
• The enhancement in performance was observed under visible light, with more than 50% efficiency improvement noted.
• Analysis of titanium metal-organic frameworks as precursors was key to optimizing single-atom loading for catalytic activity.
• These findings highlight the potential of single-atom catalysts in boosting renewable energy technologies, emphasizing further exploration needed.
