## Description

- description: Metal atom clusters are well-defined nanoscale objects containing a
    precise number of metal atoms and ligands. Herein, we report new advances in the
    design of photoelectrodes using heterometallic Re4Mo2 cluster-based building blocks.
    The association of Mo and Re in {Re4Mo2Q8} cluster cores (Q = S and Se) leads
    to electronic properties and absorption properties significantly different from
    those of homometallic {Mo6I8} and {Re6Q8}. Indeed, beyond different molecular
    orbital diagrams, the {Re4Mo2Q8} cluster-based units exhibit 22 valence electrons
    per cluster (VEC) whereas the VEC value for {Mo6I8} and {Re6Q8} cluster units
    is 24. The mixing of rhenium and molybdenum within the same heterometallic cluster
    enables not only the optical and transport properties of the active layers to
    be optimized but it also enables the position of the energy levels to be tuned.
    This appears very appealing for band alignment engineering in order to design
    optimized photoelectrodes for solar energy conversion. We show herein that the
    energy levels of the photoelectrodes built on {Re4Mo2Q8} cluster-based layers
    immobilized on FTO surfaces are compatible with the photoelectrochemical water
    splitting.
