AI Article Synopsis
- A study on Au/TiO2 photocatalysts shows that gold nanoparticles influence hydrogen production differently based on light wavelength.
- Under visible light, the hydrogen production is mainly driven by the strength of the Au surface plasmon band.
- In contrast, when exposed to UV light, the Au nanoparticles function as co-catalysts alongside TiO2 to enhance efficiency.
Article Abstract
An investigation of hydrogen production with a series of Au/TiO2 photocatalysts reveals that the Au nanoparticles play different roles depending on the wavelength of the light irradiation. Under visible-light irradiation, the photoactivity is primarily controlled by the intensity of the Au surface plasmon band, whereas under UV irradiation the Au nanoparticles act as co-catalysts with TiO2 .
