Ni loaded SnS hexagonal nanosheets for photocatalytic hydrogen generation water splitting.

Herein we have prepared the Ni-decorated SnS nanosheets with varying concentrations of Ni from 1 to 10 mol% (1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mol%) and studied their various physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The chemical reduction technique was utilized to load the Ni nanoparticles on SnS nanosheets.

Highly crystalline anatase TiO nanocuboids as an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen generation.

Highly crystalline anatase titanium dioxide (TiO) nanocuboids were synthesized a hydrothermal method using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid as a capping agent. The structural study revealed the nanocrystalline nature of anatase TiO nanocuboids. Morphological study indicates the formation of cuboid shaped particles with thickness of ∼5 nm and size in the range of 10-40 nm.
