Figures(8)

Firstly, 1D TiO₂ nanobelts were uniformly interspersed into 3D ZnIn₂S₄ microspheres assembled by lamellar structure by solvothermal method. The heterostructure photocatalyst can effectively suppress the re-combination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Secondly, 0D Ag nanoparticles were loaded onto 3D ZnIn₂S₄/1D TiO₂ hetero-structure by photodeposition method. Owing to the plasma effect of 0D Ag nanoparticles and the action of electron co -catalyst, ternary 3D ZnIn₂S₄/1D TiO₂/0D Ag composite photocatalyst showed excellent performance in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Under simulated sunlight irradiation, the hydrogen production rate of ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂/Ag composite photocatalyst reached 715 μmol·g^-1·h^-1, which was 2.7 times, 3.3 times, 3.8 times, 184 times and 518 times higher than those of ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂, ZnIn₂S₄/P25, TiO₂ and P25, respectively. At the same time, by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, the excellent performance of the composite catalyst was further demonstrated.
