H2 spillover enhanced hydrogenation capability of TiO2 used for photocatalytic splitting of water: a traditional phenomenon for new applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Black TiO2 was usually obtained via hydrogenation at high pressure and high temperature. Herein, we reported a facile hydrogenation of TiO2 in the presence of a small amount of Pt at relatively low temperature and atmospheric pressure. The hydrogen spillover from Pt to TiO2 accounts well for the greatly enhanced hydrogenation capability. The as-synthesized Pt/TiO2 exhibits remarkably improved photocatalytic activity for water splitting.

متن کاملAdvanced nanoporous TiO2 photocatalysts by hydrogen plasma for efficient solar-light photocatalytic application
We report an effect involving hydrogen (H2)-plasma-treated nanoporous TiO2(H-TiO2) photocatalysts that improve photocatalytic performance under solar-light illumination. H-TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by application of hydrogen plasma of assynthesized TiO2(a-TiO2) without annealing process. Compared with the a-TiO2, the H-TiO2 exhibited high anatase/brookite bicrystallinity and a porous st...
متن کاملQuantum chemical elucidation of the mechanism for hydrogenation of TiO2 anatase crystals.
Hydrogenation of TiO2 is relevant to hydrogen storage and water splitting. We have carried out a detailed mechanistic study on TiO2 hydrogenation through H and∕or H2 diffusion from the surface into subsurface layers of anatase TiO2 (101) by periodic density functional theory calculations implementing on-site Coulomb interactions (DFT + U). Both H atoms and H2 molecules can migrate from the crys...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic hydrogenation of furan to tetrahydrofuran in alcoholic suspensions of metal-loaded titanium(iv) oxide without addition of hydrogen gas.
The use of metal co-catalysts broadens the application of photocatalytic reduction without the use of dihydrogen (H2) gas. We examined photocatalytic hydrogenation of furan, a representative heterocyclic compound and a compound derived from biomass, in alcoholic suspensions of metal-loaded titanium(iv) oxide (TiO2) under a H2-free condition and we found that furan was almost quantitatively hydr...
متن کاملNovel-structured electrospun TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers for high efficient photocatalytic cogeneration of clean water and energy from dye wastewater.
It is still a challenge to photocatalytically cogenerate clean water and energy from dye wastewater owing to the relatively low photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts. In this study, novel-structured TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers were successfully fabricated via facile electrospinning. For the first time, the TiO2/CuO composite nanofibers demonstrated multifunctional ability for concurrent...
