Abstract
Due to the synergistic effect between photoactive Cu<sup>II</sup> and Pt sites, the <bold>Pt(4.38 wt%)/Cu</bold><sup>II</sup><bold>-MOF</bold> nanoribbon exhibits an enhanced hydrogen production rate, obviously higher by 4.7 and 1.9 times than those of the individual Pt nanoparticle and <bold>Cu</bold><sup>II</sup><bold>-MOF</bold>.
