Abstract

​Advanced atomically resolved characterization methods unveil the behaviour of a promising photocatalytic Co@MOF(Ti) system for H2 production. The combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments allows the characterization of atomic and electronic rearrangements in photoinduced species. This information provides the basis for the optimization of photocatalysts design.​
