TiO₂ hollow spheres modified with spatially separated Ag species and RuO₂ cocatalysts have been prepared via an alkoxide hydrolysis-precipitation method and a facile impregnation method. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies indicate that Ag species and RuO₂ co-located on the inner and outer surface of TiO₂ hollow spheres, respectively. The resultant catalysts show significantly enhanced activity in photocatalytic hydrogen production under simulated sunlight attributed to spatially separated Ag species and RuO₂ cocatalysts on TiO₂ hollow spheres, which results in the efficient separation and transportation of photogenerated charge carriers.
通过醇盐水解沉淀法和简便的浸渍法制备了用空间分离的银物种和RuO₂助催化剂改性的TiO₂空心球。高分辨率透射电子显微镜研究表明,银物种和RuO₂分别位于TiO₂空心球的内表面和外表面。所得催化剂在模拟太阳光下的光催化产氢活性显著增强,这归因于TiO₂空心球上空间分离的银物种和RuO₂助催化剂,从而导致光生电荷载流子的有效分离和传输。
