Polyoxometalate (POM)-based binary and ternary hybrids are key materials in photoelectrocatalysis. These composites combine the properties of two or three functional nanoscale materials, resulting in a wide range of applications, including catalysis, energy conversion and storage, molecular sensors, and electronics. An international team of researchers (Germany, China) summarized the latest progress in POM-based binary nanohybrids (POM/metal, POM/semiconductor, and POM/nanocarbon) and ternary nanohybrids (metal/POM/nanocarbon), particularly in energy materials for photocatalysis, fuel cells, biosensors, and photoelectrochemical devices. Current applications were critically assessed, and promising target systems were discussed… read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLEÂ
