Abstract

In this work, a novel series of amino-modified Ti₅ clusters (NH₂-TOCs) with a Janus surface were synthesized. Then, a facile hydrolysis self-assembly strategy was adopted to fabricate a well-defined monolayer of NH₂-TOCs on BiVO₄ with intimate interaction at low temperature. The as-formed NH₂-TOCs/BiVO₄ heterojunction electrode exhibited high performance on photoelectrochemical water-splitting, which was ascribed to strong M−O−Ti (M=Bi, V) bonding at the interface. It is anticipated that this work could boost new insights for cluster-support interaction and corresponding applications.
