Effects of Au nanoparticle size and metal-support interaction on plasmon-induced photocatalytic water oxidation

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(18)63094-3

Abstract

Abstract:

Plasmonic photocatalysis with tunable light absorption has aroused significant attention in so-lar-to-chemical energy conversion. However, the energy conversion efficiency of plasmonic photo-catalysts is impeded by ineffective charge separation and the lack of highly active sites for redox reactions. In this work, the Au nanoparticle size and Au-TiO₂ interaction of the Au/TiO₂ plasmonic photocatalyst were adjusted simultaneously using a post-calcination treatment. The visi-ble-light-induced water oxidation activity exhibited a volcano-like relationship with the calcination temperature; the treated photocatalyst at 600℃ manifested the highest activity. Characterization with UV-visible spectra, XRD, SEM, and XPS revealed that the effect of the Au nanoparticle size and Au-TiO₂ interaction were both responsible for the increase in plasmon-induced water oxidation activity.

Key words: Au/TiO₂, Water oxidation, Plasmonic photocatalysis, Size effect, Metal-semiconductor interaction
