Journal of Photochemistry & Photobiology A: Chemistry, 390, 1-4.1010-6030https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotochem.2019.112335https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/38520Laponite D is known as a zwitterionic synthetic clay having disc-shaped with negatively charged top faces and positively charged lateral edges, which is photochemically inactive and used to increase catalytic active surfaces. Herein, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over Laponite D, which known as low cost inorganic clay, is firstly reported in a system containing Eosin-Y (EY) and triethanolamine (TEOA) as a photosensitizer and electron donor, respectively, under visible light illumination. This reaction system shows excellent stability due to the good charge transport and separation efficiency thanks to zwitterionic property of Laponite D.en10.1016/j.jphotochem.2019.112335info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEnergy storage and conversionSolar energy materialsHydrogen evolutionClayArticle39014Q2WOS:000512481000041Q2
