چکیده
The activity and stability of CdS for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution could be significantly enhanced by embedding plasmonic Au nanoparticles. The plasmon resonance energy field of Au nanoparticles could increase the formation rate and lifetime of e(-)/h(+) pairs in CdS semiconductors.

Highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by nickel phosphide nanoparticles from aqueous solution.
Monodispersed nickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles were for the first time applied to photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from lactic acid aqueous solution under visible light LED irradiation using CdS nanorods as a photosensitizer. The system exhibited high photocatalytic hydrogen-generating activity and excellent stability in aqueous acidic media.
متن کاملP22 virus-like particles constructed Au/CdS plasmonic photocatalytic nanostructures for enhanced photoactivity.
Plasmonic photocatalytic nanostructures have been fabricated under mild conditions (room temperature aqueous solution) using genetically engineered bacteriophage P22 virus-like particles (VLP) as a nano-platform. The photodegradation of methylene blue by CdS photocatalyst confined inside VLP can be significantly enhanced by the controlled deposition of gold nanoparticles on the outer shell of V...
متن کاملUsing ATTO Dyes To Probe the Photocatalytic Activity of Au−CdS Nanoparticles
Metal−semiconductor nanohybrids (or heterostructures), such as Au−CdS, have become an important class of materials because of their role in photochemical hydrogen production and in other catalytic reactions. Here we report the results of photophysical studies of the interactions of these particles with ATTO dyes (ATTO 590 and 655), which are used as fluorescent probes in a wide range of spectro...

The mesoporous Au-TiO2 nanocomposites with different Au concentrations were prepared via a co-polymer assisted sol-gel method. The structures have been characterized by powder X-Ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy. Most generated Au nanoparticles were embedded in the meso...
متن کاملDirect evidence of plasmon enhancement on photocatalytic hydrogen generation over Au/Pt-decorated TiO2 nanofibers.
Direct evidence of plasmon-enhanced H2 generation is observed in photocatalytic water reduction by using TiO2 electrospun nanofibers co-decorated with Au and Pt nanoparticles through dual-beam irradiation. The Au/Pt/TiO2 nanofibers exhibit certain activity for H2 generation under single irradiation at 420 nm that excites the defect/impurity states of TiO2. Significantly, when secondary irradiat...
