A dinuclear porphyrin-macrocycle as efficient catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction
Julia Jökel, Fabian Schwer, Max von Delius, Ulf‐Peter Apfel
Abstract
We report an unprecedented dinuclear catalyst for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A macrocyclic porphyrin complex comprising two nickel centres connected via redox mediating linker molecules gives rise to efficient catalysis, significantly outperforming a mononuclear reference catalyst.
