Abstract
In this study, ternary P25/GO/Pt hybrid photocatalysts are prepared in different orders, using Degussa's TiO2 (P25), graphene oxide (GO), chloroplatinic acid as precursor. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This work is first time to compare the hydrogen production of the ternary P25/GO/Pt hybrid photocatalysts prepared in different orders. We focus on studying the introduction of GO and find that the quantity of introduced GO and electronic transfer path play an important role in photocatalytic activity on ternary P25/GO/Pt hybrid catalysts. When the proper Pt particle loaded on the flat surface of GO which was 0.5wt% of P25, the highest H2 evolution was obtained.
