Abstract

Formic acid molecules, which can be produced by reducing CO₂, are considered to be liquid organic hydrogen carriers. Herein, PCN-222(Cu) loaded with Au nanorods was prepared via following a seed-induced growth route, and it exhibited highly selective photocatalytic performance during H₂ generation (rate: 2.33 ± 0.12 mmol g^-1 h^-1, QY: 2.7 ± 0.14%) from HCOOH dehydrogenation, enhanced by plasmonic Au.
