Understanding the injection process of hydrogen on Pt1-TiO2 surface for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Zhenggang Xue et al.

Summary: Observation and understanding of catalyst surface changes during reactive processes are crucial for mechanism studies. In this study, we investigated different surface behaviors of Pt/TiO2 catalysts during photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. We found that single Pt atoms on the TiO2 surface can induce hydrogen injection into the TiO2 subsurface, forming a self-hydrogenated shell. This hydrogenated shell acts as the dominant location for hydrogen formation and desorption, greatly enhancing the catalytic rate. Our discovery provides important insights into hydrogen evolution reactions and offers new possibilities for designing highly effective photocatalysts.

Ti-based MOFs: New insights on the impact of ligand composition and hole scavengers on stability, charge separation and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Jia Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the combination of MIL-125-Ti with methanol exhibited higher activity in photocatalysis due to the effective scavenging of holes in the metal-oxo cluster by methanol and prevention of charge recombination, while holes in NH2 groups were detrimental to photocatalytic performance. Mixed-ligand MOFs follow a dual-excitation pathway, introducing new states and transitions.
