Highly Active Photocatalyst of Cu2O/TiO2 Octahedron for Hydrogen Generation.


ABSTRACT: Heterojunction catalysts are attracting attention in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen generation for their effective light utilization and charge separation personalities. In this work, we report a simple and low-cost two-step solvothermal method for synthesizing Cu2O/TiO2 heterojunction catalysts with an octahedral morphology and a mean particle size of about 30 nm. It is found that the introduction of Cu2O astonishingly enhances the photocatalytic performance of TiO2. Under the condition of methanol acting as a sacrificial agent, the heterojunction with 0.19% Cu species shows an optimal hydrogen generation rate of 24.83 mmol g-1 h-1, which is nearly 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of the pristine TiO2 catalyst.
