The design and synthesis of two semiconducting bis (4-ethynyl-bridging 1, 8-naphthalimide) bolaamphiphiles (BENI-COO and BENI-NH ) to fabricate supramolecular metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) nanostructures for biomimetic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation is presented. A H evolution rate of ca. 3.12 mmol g ⋅h and an apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of ca. 1.63 % at 400 nm were achieved over the BENI-COO -NH -Ni MIS photosystem prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of BENI-COO with the opposite-charged DuBois-Ni catalysts. The hot electrons of photoexcited BENI-COO nanofibers were tunneled to the molecular Ni collectors across a salt bridge and an alkyl region of 2.2-2.5 nm length at a rate of 6.10×10 s , which is five times larger than the BENI-NH nanoribbons (1.17×10 s ). The electric field benefited significantly the electron tunneling dynamics and compensated the charge-separated states insufficient in the BENI-COO nanofibers.
设计并合成了两种半导体双(4-乙炔基-桥连 1,8-萘二甲酰亚胺)双(酰胺) bolaamphiphiles(BENI-COO 和 BENI-NH),以在可见光照射下仿生制氢来制备超分子金属-绝缘体-半导体(MIS)纳米结构。通过静电自组装将带相反电荷的 DuBois-Ni 催化剂与 BENI-COO 组装,制备了 BENI-COO-NH-Ni MIS 光系统,在该光系统上实现了约 3.12mmol·g ⋅h 的 H 2 演化速率和约 1.63%的表观量子效率(AQE)在 400nm 处。光激发的 BENI-COO 纳米纤维中的热电子通过盐桥和长度为 2.2-2.5nm 的烷基区域以 6.10×10 s的速率隧穿到分子 Ni 收集器,这比 BENI-NH 纳米带(1.17×10 s)快五倍。电场显著促进了电子隧穿动力学,并补偿了 BENI-COO 纳米纤维中电荷分离状态的不足。
