Influence of Pt deposition on water-splitting hydrogen generation by highly-ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays
چکیده انگلیسی


• Pt nanoparticles have been evenly distributed on highly-ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays.
• The transfer mechanism of the photogenerated electrons has been discussed in detail.
• Pt deposition on TNTAs facilitates the separation of the photogenerated e-h pairs.
• The hydrogen evolution rate of Pt/TNTAs was 6 times of that of the pure TNTAs.
• Pt/TNTAs integrate the photoanode and photocathode on one Ti sheet.

Highly-ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) were fabricated on Ti sheets by electrochemical anodization. Uniform Pt nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3 nm could be successfully located on the TiO2 nanotubes on only one side (Pt/TNTAs) or both sides of the Ti sheet (Pt/TNTAs/Pt). Pt/TNTAs, the single-sided Pt deposited TNTAs, could be directly used to split water without a counter electrode. The hydrogen evolution rate can reach 120 μmol h−1 cm−2 in a mixed solution of 0.5 M Na2SO4 and 0.5 M ethylene glycol without any applied bias, which is six times of that by the pure TNTAs. In comparison to the traditional three electrode system, this single-sided Pt deposited TNTAs is a much more simple and efficient water splitting system. Meanwhile, the photoelectrical conversion mechanism has been investigated in detail.
