Abstract

Abstract:

Titanium powders as the reductant and HAuCl₄ were used as the oxidant to prepare TiO₂-Au composite in the hydrothermal reactor at 180 ℃. Finally, the surface of TiO₂ with 800 nm diameter was evenly coated by gold nanoparticles with 20 nm diameter. The specific surface area is about 3.5 m²/g. The structures and properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photocurrent density and photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. The morphology of the catalyst synthesized by the one-step method is regular. The final TiO₂ is anatase. The catalyst has a strong absorption in the visible region, benefitting from the local surface plasmon resonance(LSPR) of gold nanoparticles. The hydrogen production performance of the catalyst increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of Au. Under visible light, the maximum hydrogen production rate is 0.1 μmol/(g·h) and the photocatalyst has good stability.

Key words: photocatalysis, TiO₂-Au nanoparticles, visible light, water splitting
