Abstract

Abstract:

TiO₂@Ni(OH)₂ core-shell microspheres were synthesized by a facile strategy to obtain a perfect 3D flower-like nanostructure with well-arranged Ni(OH)₂ nanoflakes on the surfaces of TiO₂ microspheres; this arrangement led to a six-fold enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The unique p-n type heterostructure not only promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers significantly, but also offers more active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. A photocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the results of electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Key words: 3D flower-like core-shell microspheres, TiO₂, Ni(OH)₂, Photocatalytic hydrogen production
