Highly dispersed noble-metal/chromia (core/shell) nanoparticles as efficient hydrogen evolution promoters for photocatalytic overall water splitting under visible light.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Highly dispersed rhodium nanoparticles (1.7 +/- 0.3 nm) prepared by a liquid-phase reduction method were loaded on a solid solution of GaN and ZnO without forming aggregates, achieving improved activity for visible-light-driven overall water splitting when the nanoparticles are coated with a chromia shell.

متن کاملTi3C2 MXene co-catalyst on metal sulfide photo-absorbers for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production
Scalable and sustainable solar hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting requires highly active and stable earth-abundant co-catalysts to replace expensive and rare platinum. Here we employ density functional theory calculations to direct atomic-level exploration, design and fabrication of a MXene material, Ti3C2 nanoparticles, as a highly efficient co-catalyst. Ti3C2 nanoparti...

متن کاملDesign of multicomponent photocatalysts for hydrogen production under visible light using water-soluble titanate nanodisks.
We report the design of efficient multicomponent photocatalysts (MPs) for H2 production under visible light by using water-soluble ultrathin titanate nanodisks (TNDs) stabilized by tetraethylammonium cations (TEA(+)) as building blocks. The photocatalysts are designed in such a way to significantly enhance simultaneously the efficiency of the three main steps in the photocatalytic process i.e.,...
