Abstract

Abstract In order to construct noble metal‐free co‐catalysts to facilitate the transport and separation of photocatalyst carriers, herein, a MOF‐based derived bimetallic NiCu 0.2 co‐catalyst was loaded on NH 2 ‐MIL‐125(Ti). The obtained NiCu 0.2 /NH 2 ‐MIL‐125 exhibited a photocatalytic activity of 161.4 μmol g −1 h −1 for hydrogen evolution, 12.6 times higher than that of the Ni/NH 2 ‐MIL‐125 and even slightly better than Pt/NH 2 ‐MIL‐125. The work expands the development pathway of cost‐effective and highly active bimetallic co‐catalysts for photocatalytic H 2 evolution.
