| Abstract | A cationic polymer containing tris(4,4‘-dialkyl-2,2‘-bipyridyl)ruthenium groups linked by aliphatic spacers was studied as a photosensitizer for the catalytic oxidation of water in the presence of colloidal IrO2. The polymer−colloidal IrO2 system photocatalytically reduced persulfate, a sacrificial electron acceptor, and oxidized water to O2 and H+ in solutions that were buffered at pH 6 by Na2SiF6 and NaHCO3. The quantum efficiency for O2 evolution and turnover number with respect to the Ru complex in the polymer reached 25% and 100, respectively. The polymer gradually aggregated in the Na2SiF6−NaHCO3 buffer during the reaction, and this aggregation gradually decreased the photocatalytic activity of the system. Heterogeneous photosystems composed of this polymer and colloidal IrO2 were also prepared using 70 nm diameter SiO2 particles as supports. Photocatalysts made by the sequential loading of colloidal IrO2 and the photosensitizer polymer onto SiO2 particles at ca. pH 6 had much lower photocatalytic a... |
