Modeling physicochemical consequences of surface functionalization of metal oxide nanocrystals using polyoxovanadate clusters.
Here, we report the improvement of photocatalytic proton reduction using molecular polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters as hole scavengers for CdSe quantum dots. The increased hydrogen production is explained by favorable charge interactions between reduced forms of the cluster and the charge on the quantum dots arising from the capping ligands.
