Abstract:

CdTiO3 nanorods with different length were prepared from titanium glycolate nanorod template, combined with wet impregnation method and further calcination. The samples were characteried by scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), wide-angle X-ray diffractometer(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), thermogravimetric analyser(TG) and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer(UV-Vis). The prepared CdTiO3 nanorods are uniform with high crystallinity and high purity, and are about 50, 20, 10 μm in length, respectively. After loaded 1%(mass fraction) platinum as co-catalyst, their photocatalytic properties for H2 production were studied. Compared with CdTiO3 nanoparticles, the CdTiO3 nanorods show higher photocatalytic activity. The H2 producton performance for the longest nanorods is up to 52.9 μmol/h.
