Efficient full-spectrum driven ammonia synthesis over heterostructured TiO2 nanosheet arrays

Here, we report that efficient photocatalytic ammonia synthesis was realized across the entire solar spectrum by using Ru modified anatase/TiO2(B) heterostructured nanosheet arrays. The superior NH3 production rates of 2004 mu g h(-1) g(-1) and 521 mu g h(-1) g(-1) were achieved under visible light (400 nm) and near-infrared-light (1550 nm) irradiation, respectively.
