Abstract
Palladium nanoparticles were immobilized within the pores of metal
organic frameworks MIL-125 and amine-functionalized NH<sub>2</sub>-MIL-125 using photoassisted and ion exchange deposition methods.
The resulting materials showed a very high activity for hydrogen production
at ambient temperature in comparison to other titanium-based porous
materials. The amine groups in NH<sub>2</sub>-MIL-125 greatly increased
the H<sub>2</sub>-generating activity and acted as a stabilizer of
Pd NPs. The photoassisted deposition method was a more efficient method
for producing highly dispersed small NPs in the MOF materials
