Abstract:

For photocatalytic H 2 evolution from water splitting, perovskite photocatalyst Ca 0.99La 0.01TiO 3 was prepared by sol-gel method with citric acid as complexing agent. The influence of N doping on photocatalytic activity was investigated. The hydrogen-producing capacity of Ca 0.99La 0.01TiO 3- xN x with different Pt loading and different kinds of sacrificial agents was also investigated under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-Vis DRS). The results show that under the irradiation of visible light, the perovskite photocatalyst Pt-Ca 0.99La 0.01TiO 3- xN x with 1% Pt-loading has the highest photocatalytic activity of hydrogen production from water when Na 2SO 3/Na 2S is used as the sacrificial agent. Pt-loading promotes photocatalytic reaction and improves photocatalytic activity.
