چکیده
Modification of oxysulfides, such as Sm(2)Ti(2)S(2)O(5) and Gd(2)Ti(2)S(2)O(5), with nanoparticulate Rh (reduction site) and Ag(2)S (oxidation site) resulted in enhanced H(2) production from water containing Na(2)S and Na(2)SO(3) as electron donors, showing an apparent quantum yield of 8.8% at 440 nm. This was approximately 9 or 160 times the yield achieved using samples modified with Rh or Ag(2)S, respectively.

A hollow Fe2O3-TiO2-PtOx photocatalyst for visible light H2 generation was prepared from nanosized MIL-88B consisting of coordinatively unsaturated metal centers as a hard template. This photocatalyst is composed of hybrid metal oxide-TiO2 with controllable wall thickness and two different cocatalysts that are separately located on two surface sides.
متن کاملRoles of cocatalysts in semiconductor-based photocatalytic hydrogen production.
A photocatalyst is defined as a functional composite material with three components: photo-harvester (e.g. semiconductor), reduction cocatalyst (e.g. for hydrogen evolution) and oxidation cocatalyst (e.g. for oxidation evolution from water). Loading cocatalysts on semiconductors is proved to be an effective approach to promote the charge separation and transfer, suppress the charge recombinatio...
متن کاملRoles of cocatalysts in photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis.
Since the 1970s, splitting water using solar energy has been a focus of great attention as a possible means for converting solar energy to chemical energy in the form of clean and renewable hydrogen fuel. Approaches to solar water splitting include photocatalytic water splitting with homogeneous or heterogeneous photocatalysts, photoelectrochemical or photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) water splitting...
