Nano gold-zinc titanate(Nano Au-ZnTiO₃) composite plasmonic photocatalyst were prepared by a sol-gel process and photodeposition method. The obtained samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, fluorescence spectra, photocurrent density and photocatalytic hydrogen production activity. The results indicate that ZnTiO₃ sintered at 900 ℃ shows a mixed phase composed of cubic and hexagonal with a approximately spherical morphology in the size range of 50~100 nm. An intense absorption band centered at 525 nm of Nano Au-ZnTiO₃ can be observed in visible light region due to the surface plasma resonance effect of Au nanoparticles. Under the irradiation of visible light, the Nano Au-ZnTiO₃ plasmonic photocatalyst shows excellent photocatalytic activity in hydrogen evolution from water splitting.
