Abstrakt: Hydrogen has evolved as the cleanest and most sustainable fuel, produced directly from naturally abundant water resources. Generation of hydrogen by electrochemical or photoelectrochemical splitting of water has been conceived as the most effective method for hydrogen production. Herein, a robust solid metal-thiolate framework (MTF-1) was obtained by hydrothermal crystallization of the reaction mixture consisting of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trithioltrisodium salt and Cu II under mild synthesis conditions. The material was thoroughly characterized and explored as efficient catalyst for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via water splitting reactions. MTF-1 showed onset potential 0.045 V RHE and overpotential η(@10 mA cm -2 ) at 0.096 V RHE . The electrochemical surface area of MTF-1 was found to be 509 m 2  g -1 . The photo current density at pH 5.0 was found to be 0.487 mA cm -2 at 0.6 V RHE . The feasibility of the reaction pathway was correlated from the density function theory study, which suggested the complete downhill energetics indicating spontaneous electrochemical hydrogen generation in the acidic medium.
