Nanocrystalline Electrodes Functionalized with Light Sensitized [2Fe-2S]-Iron-Sulfur Clusters for Hydrogen Production (N
Publications / Results
(English)
Synthetic routes to biomimetic ruthenium(II)-iron sulfur cluster conjugates have been investigated. Components of biomimetic proton reduction systems have been combined with chromophores on surfaces. New conjugate systems are currently being investigated for hydrogen production.

Final report
(English)
Strategies for the synthesis of new conjugates combining ruthenium(II) photoactive centres with biomimetic iron-sulfur clusters and titania semiconducting nanoparticles have been developed. Various approaches have been used for the linking of the individual species using a modular library of components. The iron-sulfur clusters have been selected to incorporate the hydrogen generation capacity found in hydrogenase. This process requires two electrons per hydrogen molecule and the ruthenium species (combined with the titania) were designed to provide the required reduction capacity through photochemistry or photoelectrochemistry.
