Abstract Understanding and controlling the properties of water-splitting assemblies in dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells is a key to the exploitation of their properties. We demonstrate here that, following surface loading of a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) chromophore on nanoparticle electrodes, addition of the molecular catalysts, Ru(bda)(L)2 (bda  =  2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate) with phosphonate or pyridyl sites for water oxidation, gives surfaces with a 5:1 chromophore to catalyst ratio. Addition of the surface-bound phosphonate derivatives with L = 4-pyridyl phosphonic acid or diethyl 3-(pyridin-4-yloxy)decyl-phosphonic acid, leads to well-defined surfaces but, following oxidation to Ru(III), they undergo facile, on-surface dimerization to give surface-bound, oxo-bridged dimers. The dimers have a diminished reactivity toward water oxidation compared to related monomers in solution. By contrast, immobilization of the Ru-bda catalyst on TiO2 with the 4,4′-dipyridyl anchoring ligand can maintain the monomeric structure of catalyst and gives relatively stable photoanodes with photocurrents that reach to 1.7 mA cm−2 with an optimized, applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of 1.5%.

Photocatalytic proton reduction and water oxidation have been studied in a tris(2,2’-bipyridyl)ruthenium complex-catalyst system. Pyrochlore-type oxides have been used as proton reduction catalysts with a sacrificial electron donor (Na2EDTA) at pH 7 and as water oxidation catalysts with a sacrificial electron acceptor (K2S2O8) at pH 3. Rate constants for the proton reduction were estimated on the basis of photochemical processes. Yb2Ru2O7-δ was found to be the most active catalyst for proton reduction and water oxidation catalyst in this system.
