We report here the hierarchical construction of a molecular Co(ii)-salicylaldimine catalyst and an in situ derived In2S3 semiconductor in a MOF@In2S3 heterojunction through sequentially controllable in situ etching and post-synthetic modification for photocatalytic hydrogen production from formic ac...
