h-BN nanosheets as simple and effective additives to largely enhance the activity of Au/TiO2 plasmonic photocatalysts.

چکیده
The activity of Au nanoparticle-loaded P25 TiO2 (Au/P25) plasmonic photocatalysts, evaluated by the oxidative decomposition of formic acid in water under visible light irradiation, was enhanced up to 3 times by simply mixing Au/P25 with photocatalytically inactive h-BN nanosheets as a result of electron transfer from photoexcited Au/TiO2 to the h-BN nanosheets and retardation of the charge recombination.

Gap-plasmon based broadband absorbers for enhanced hot-electron and photocurrent generation
Plasmonic hot-electron generation has recently come into focus as a new scheme for solar energy conversion. So far, however, due to the relatively narrow bandwidth of the surface plasmon resonances and the insufficient resonant light absorption, most of plasmonic photocatalysts show narrow-band spectral responsivities and small solar energy conversion efficiencies. Here we experimentally demons...
متن کاملCodeposition of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Sandwiched Between g-C3N4 and TiO2 Nanosheets: Structure, Characterization and High Photocatalytic Activity for Efficiently Degradation of Dye Pollutants
Novel ternary nanocomposite photocatalysts based on g-C3N4/Fe3O4/TiO2 nanosheet were synthesized using simple solid combustion, hydrothermal and wetness impregnation methods. The g-C3N4 nanosheet (2D)/ Fe3O4/ TiO2 nanosheet (2D) triad-interface nanocomposite arranged in the form of Fe3O4 nanoparticle was sandwiched and well dispersed on the surface between g-C3N4 and TiO2 nanosheets. The synthe...

متن کاملApplication of Au@SiO2 Plasmonic Nanoparticles at Interface of TiO2 Mesoporous Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
To investigate the plasmonic effect in perovskite solar cells, the effect of depositing Au@SiO2 nanoparticles on the top and the bottom of mesoporous TiO2 layers was studied. First, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized. The particles were then deposited at the different interfaces of mesoporous TiO2 layers. Although the two structures show approximately similar optical absorption, only cells ...
