Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalysis with Reduced TiO2: From Black TiO2 to Cocatalyst-Free Hydrogen Production.

TL;DR: This Review discusses the basic concepts that underlie an effective design of reduced TiO2 photocatalysts for hydrogen production, and analysis of structure deformation and presence of unpaired electrons through electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pt and Au/TiO2 photocatalysts for methanol reforming: Role of metal nanoparticles in tuning charge trapping properties and photoefficiency

TL;DR: In this paper, an anatase loaded with Au and Pt nanoparticles by an impregnation-reduction method was investigated as for morphological, electronic (XPS) and photocatalytic properties in hydrogen production by methanol photoreforming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Photocatalytic H2 Evolution: Controlled Dewetting–Dealloying to Fabricate Site‐Selective High‐Activity Nanoporous Au Particles on Highly Ordered TiO2 Nanotube Arrays

TL;DR: By dealloying from a minimal amount of noble metal, porous Au nanoparticles are then formed, which allow for a drastically improved photocatalytic H2 production compared with nanoparticles produced by conventional dewetting processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsic Au Decoration of Growing TiO2 Nanotubes and Formation of a High‐Efficiency Photocatalyst for H2 Production

TL;DR: Electrochemical anodization of low-concentration TiAu alloys in a fluoride electrolyte leads to self-organized TiO2 nanotubes that show a controllable, regular in situ decoration with elemental Au nanoclusters of ≈5 nm in diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-organized arrays of single-metal catalyst particles in TiO2 cavities: a highly efficient photocatalytic system.

TL;DR: A highly aligned Au(np)@TiO2 photocatalyst was formed by self-organizing anodization of a Ti substrate followed by dewetting of a gold thin film, leading to exactly one Au nanoparticle per TiO2 nanocavity.
