Abstract:

Chitosan-cobalt complex(Cs-Co) was synthesized by one-pot method. The content of Co in Cs-Co is 1.1 mmol/g and Co is positive bivalent. Under the optimized conditions, the total hydrogen production of 18 mg catalyst Cs-Co was 12.7 mL within 80 min, the hydrogen evolution rate was 30258 μmol·g -1·h -1. By studying the photocatalytic process of Cs-Co and combining with electrochemical method, a possible photocatalytic process and mechanism were proposed.

Key words: Chitosan, Cobalt oxime complex, One-pot method, Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
