Abstract
The cocatalyst for hydrogen generation is a cocatalyst for hydrogen generation to be combined with a semiconductor catalyst that is excited by light and includes a metal-organic framework having a molecular structure represented by the following formula (1). In the formula (1), M is at least one selected from Ni, Co, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pd, Pt, Au, and Ir, L1 to L4 are each independently at least one selected from S, Se, Te, NH, and O, C1 and C2 are carbon atoms forming a first aromatic group, and C3 and C4 are carbon atoms forming a second aromatic group.
