Synergy of the Combination of Titanate Nanotubes with Titania Nanoparticles for the Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation from Water-Methanol Mixture Using Simulated Sunlight by Marco Serra, Hermenegildo Garcia

“…This synergy between the two titanium semiconductors has an optimum for a certain proportion of the two components and is observed in both the absence and the presence of platinum or gold nanoparticles. The best efficiency under simulated sunlight irradiation was for a combination of 12 wt.% titanate nanotubes containing 0.32 wt.% platinum in 88 wt.% Millennium PC500, where a two-time increase in the hydrogen generation is observed versus the activity of Millennium PC500 containing platinum. …”

Separating nanobubble nucleation for transfer-resistance-free electrocatalysis by Shasha Guo, Maolin Yu, Jinn-Kye Lee, Mengyi Qiu, Dundong Yuan, Zhili Hu, Chao Zhu, Yao Wu, Zude Shi, Wei Ma, Shuangyin Wang, Yongmin He, Zhengyang Zhang, Zhuhua Zhang, Zheng Liu

“…Herein, we develop an on-chip microcell-based total-internal-reflection-fluorescence-microscopy to enable operando imaging of bubbles at sub-50 nm and dynamic probing of their nucleation during hydrogen evolution reaction. Using platinum-interfacial metal layer-graphene as model systems, we demonstrate that the strong binding energy between interfacial metal layer and graphene—evidenced by a reduced metal-support distance and enhanced charge transfer—facilitates hydrogen spillover from platinum to the graphene support due to lower energy barriers compared to the platinum-graphene system. …”
