Noble metal-like behavior of plasmonic Bi particles deposited on reduced TiO2 microspheres for efficient full solar spectrum photocatalytic oxygen evolution

Abstract

Abstract: Herein, novel plasmonic Bi metal in situ deposited in reduced TiO₂ microspheres (Bi@R-TiO₂) are fabricated via a bimetallic MOF-derived synthesized strategy by adjusting the synthesizing temperature. Different characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, DRS, PL, EIS, and photocurrent generation, are performed to investigate the structural and optical properties of the as-prepared samples. The results indicate that the Bi particles are generated inside and outside of reduced TiO₂ microspheres via the reduction of Ti⁴⁺ and Bi³⁺ by ethylene glycol. When the annealing temperature is controlled at 300 ℃, the corresponding Bi@R-TiO₂-300 sample with an appropriate amount of Bi nanoparticles exhibits the highest full solar spectrum photocatalytic oxygen evolution activity (4728.709 μmol h^-1 g^-1), which is 5.9 and 9.5 times higher than that of pure TiO₂ and Bi-Ti bimetal organic frameworks (Bi-Ti-MOFs). Several reasons are suggested for the above results:(1) Bi metal behaves as an "electron acceptor" to accelerate the charge carrier transfer from TiO₂ to Bi; (2) The surface plasmon resonance effect of loaded metallic Bi particles can enhance the visible and NIR light absorption capacity; (3) The generation of Ti³⁺ further narrows the band gap of TiO₂.

Key words: Bi nanoparticles, Full solar spectrum, O₂ evolution, Photocatalysis, Porous microspheres
