Abstract

AbstractVisible‐light‐driven photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production has been extensively studied as a clean and sustainable energy resource. Although sacrificial electron donors (SEDs) are commonly used to evaluate photocatalytic activity, their irreversible decomposition forces charge separation, which disrupts the inherent dual productivity of photocatalysis, that is, the formation of both the reduction and oxidation products. To achieve highly efficient photoinduced charge separation without SED decomposition, the layer‐by‐layer assembly of redox‐active photosensitizing dyes and electron mediators through Zr4+‐phosphonate bonds has been extensively studied as an artificial mimic of the electron transport chain in natural photosynthesis. This concept paper presents an overview of photoredox cascade catalytic (PRCC) systems comprising multiple Ru(II)‐trisbipyridine‐type dyes and mediator layers on Pt‐loaded TiO2 nanoparticles for H2 production from redox reversible electron donors (RREDs). The PRCC structure‐activity relationship for photocatalytic H2 production is briefly discussed in terms of layer thickness, surface structure and modification, and cooperativity with molecular oxidation catalysts. Finally, new insights into the design of efficient dual‐production photocatalysts based on the PRCC structure are presented.
