Polyoxometalates immobilized in ordered mesoporous carbon nitride as highly efficient water oxidation catalysts

Abstract

Support with pom poms: A hybrid material ([Co(4)(H(2)O)(2)(PW(9)O(34))(2)](10-)/mesoporous carbon nitride) is prepared as an efficient water oxidation catalyst, and shows excellent catalytic activity for water oxidation. Mesoporous carbon nitride as an immobilization matrix improves the catalytic water oxidation activity and structural durability of the assembled nanostructures.
