Metal doped TiO2 decorated carbon nanostructured materials as an emerging photocatalysts for solar fuels production
Catalysis Today(2024)
摘要
The concept of photocatalytic CO2 and H2O conversion to solar fuels and value-added products provides simultaneous solution for increased energy demands and environmental problems. However, the lack of efficient photocatalysts restrains the large-scale development of photocatalytic technology. In the present study, noble (Pt and Au) and transition metal (Ni) doped nanoflakes assembled on TiO2@carbon microrods with high surface area and rutile crystal structure is prepared via fast, versatile solvothermal method. The photocatalytic performance of the prepared nanocomposites was evaluated in two photocatalytic systems: CO2 reduction and hydrogen production via photoreforming. Pt-doped catalyst showed enhanced hydrogen production efficiency and increased CH4 selectivity, while Ni-doped catalyst exhibited remarkable CO2 reduction activity with higher selectivity towards CO. The mechanism of Pt-promoted CH4 formation and Ni- and Au-promoted CO formation was thoroughly discussed regarding kinetic and thermodynamic parameters.
