Pt/K2La2Ti3O10 was prepared by impregnating K2La2Ti3O10 into H2PtCl6 solution. The structure of the photocatalyst was studied by means of XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy and XPS. And the photocatalytic activities of the samples were examined in a Pyrex reaction cell by splitting methanol solution. The result revealed that Pt/K2La2Ti3O10 photocatalyst showed much higher activity than pure K2La2Ti3O10 and kept a high photocatalytic activity even after 120 hours of illumination. XPS showed that the valence state of Pt was reduced from Ptto Pt0 during the illumination.

2D/2D MoSe2/ZnIn2S4 heterojunctions exhibit high photocatalytic activity owing to MoSe2 as a cocatalyst, which provides more active sites, reducing the overpotential and the activation energy for water reduction.

A library of 237 organic binary/ternary nanohybrids consisting of conjugated polymers donors and both fullerene and non-fullerene molecular acceptors was prepared and screened for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. These donor-acceptor nanohybrids (DANHs) showed significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution rates compared with the parent donor or acceptor compounds. DANHs of <a></a><a>a polycarbazole</a>-based donor combined with a methanofullerene acceptor (PCDTBT/PC<sub>60</sub>BM) showed a high hydrogen evolution rate of 105.2 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> under visible light (λ > 420 nm). This DANH photocatalyst produced 5.9 times more hydrogen than a sulfone-containing polymer (P10) under the same conditions, which is one of the most efficient organic photocatalysts reported so far. An apparent quantum yield of hydrogen evolution of 3.0 % at 595 nm was measured for this DANH. The photocatalytic activity of the DANHs, which in optimized cases reached 179.0 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>, is attributed to efficient charge transfer at the polymer donor/molecular acceptor interface. We also show that ternary donor<sub>A</sub>-donor<sub>B</sub>-acceptor nanohybrids can give higher activities than binary donor-acceptor hybrids in some cases.

The tetrahedral copper(I) diimine complex [Cu(pq)2]BF4 displays high photocatalytic activity for the H2 evolution reaction with a turnover number of 3564, thus representing the first type of a Cu(I) quinoxaline complex capable of catalyzing proton reduction. Electrochemical experiments indicate that molecular mechanisms prevail and DFT calculations provide in-depth insight into the catalytic pathway, suggesting that the coordinating nitrogens play crucial roles in proton exchange and hydrogen formation.
