چکیده
A 3D Pt/TiO2 architecture assembled from 1D nanowires has been designed and successfully prepared by an environmentally-friendly one-pot solvothermal process. The formation mechanism has been investigated and the unique architecture exhibits an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production rate as high as 13.33 mmol h(-1) g(-1), the corresponding apparent quantum efficiency reaches 34%.

CNT-TiO2−δ Composites for Improved Co-Catalyst Dispersion and Stabilized Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
Composites consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown directly on oxygen-deficient anatase TiO2 (TiO2−δ) were synthesized by a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and applied in photocatalytic hydrogen production from aqueous methanol solutions using photodeposited Pt as the co-catalyst. Thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscop...
متن کاملEnhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production on TiO2 by Using Carbon Materials
The effect of carbon materials on TiO2 for the photocatalytic hydrogen gas production from water / alcohol mixtures was investigated. Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), carbon nanofiber (CNF), fullerene (FLN), graphite (GP), and graphite silica (GS) were used as co-catalysts by directly mixing with TiO2. Drastic synergy effects were found with increas...
متن کاملDye-sensitized Pt@TiO2 core–shell nanostructures for the efficient photocatalytic generation of hydrogen
Pt@TiO2 core-shell nanostructures were prepared through a hydrothermal method. The dye-sensitization of these Pt@TiO2 core-shell structures allows for a high photocatalytic activity for the generation of hydrogen from proton reduction under visible-light irradiation. When the dyes and TiO2 were co-excited through the combination of two irradiation beams with different wavelengths, a synergic ef...
متن کاملGreen synthesis of Pt-doped TiO2 nanocrystals with exposed (001) facets and mesoscopic void space for photo-splitting of water under solar irradiation.
We report a non-trivial facile chemical approach using ionic liquid ([bmim][Cl]) as a porogen for the synthesis of (001) faceted TiO2 nanocrystals having mesoscopic void space. This faceted TiO2 nanomaterial has been doped with Pt nanoclusters through chemical impregnation. The resulting Pt-doped TiO2 nanomaterials are thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectrosc...
متن کاملDevelopment of Visible-light-active Photocatalyst for Hydrogen Production and Environmental Application
Semiconductor photocatalysis has been intensively studied in recent decades for a wide variety of application such as hydrogen production from water splitting and water and air treatment. The majority of photocatalysts are, however, wide band-gap semiconductors which are active only under UV irradiation. In order to effectively utilize visible solar radiation, this thesis investigates various t...
