Exploiting useful contacts : The exceptional catalytic performance of a photocatalyst composed of Pd nanoparticles and mesoporous carbon nitride for the dehydrogenation of formic acid in water at room temperature to produce H 2 gas (see picture) is due to enhanced electron enrichment of the Pd nanoparticles through charge transfer at the interface of the Mott–Schottky contact.
