Tailoring Antibonding-Orbital Occupancy State of Selenium in Se-Enriched ReSe2+x Cocatalyst for Exceptional H2 Evolution of TiO2 Photocatalyst

Duoduo Gao et al.

Summary: The electron density regulation of active sites can optimize the hydrogen-binding strength. A new concept of antibonding-orbital occupancy state is proposed to explain the influence mechanism of electron density on the Se-H-ads bond strength.
