Recent advances in polyoxometalate-based catalysts for light-driven hydrogen evolution
Mengyun Zhao, Qingqing Liu, Yeqin Feng and Hongjin Lv*（吕红金，北京理工大学）
👉 This Frontier article highlights our recent advances in the construction of efficient POM-based photocatalytic hydrogen evolution systems, focusing on polyoxometalate catalysts, light-absorbing photosensitizers, and sacrificial reagents.
👉 The direct synthesis of H2O2 (DSHP) is considered a promising process to replace anthraquinone method. In this review, we discussed the recent advances in tuning the microenvironment for enhancing DSHP performance and pointed out the challenges.
