Photocatalytic hydrogen (H-2) evolution was achieved by photoirradiation of mesoporous silica-alumina supporting an organic photosensitiser in the presence of metal salts, which were converted into an H-2-evolution catalyst in situ. Not only precious Pt but also earth-abundant Cu acted as an H-2-evolution catalyst for the first time in the photocatalytic H-2 evolution system using an organic photosensitiser.
