Abstract
Nanosize WS2 sensitized mesoporous TiO2 was prepared to extend the adsorption of the wide band gap TiO2 into visible light region. Compared with nonporous particle TiO2 substrate, it was found that the existence of mesopore is important for larger amount of WS 2 loading and inhibition of the light-induced detachment of WS 2 particles from the TiO2 substrate during photocatalytic reaction, which leads to higher photocatalytic activity and stability. We also found that the rate-determining step for photocatalytic hydrogen production is the transfer of electrons from TiO2 substrate to H+ in solution, when the recombination between electrons and holes within TiO 2 could be neglected. In this case, deposition of Pt at the surface of semiconductor is indispensable for efficient hydrogen production.
