Synergetic effect of dual cocatalysts in photocatalytic H2 production on Pd–IrOx/TiO2: a new insight into dual cocatalyst location
Literature Information
Introducing appropriate dual cocatalysts is one of the most efficient strategies to improve the photocatalytic activity. Herein, we investigated the promotion effect of dual cocatalysts on TiO2 for hydrogen production. Compared with the Pd/TiO2 and Ir/TiO2 with the individual cocatalyst, TiO2 coloaded with Pd and Ir species exhibited an obviously enhanced H2 production activity and reduced CO/H2 ratio. XPS and IR spectra of CO adsorption analysis indicated that the dual cocatalysts on TiO2 were actually composed of Pd0 and partially oxidized IrOx, which acted as the reduction and oxidation cocatalysts, respectively. Interestingly, EDX elemental mappings of Pd and Ir indicated that the two elements on TiO2 were inclined to depositing together. The synergetic effect of reduction and oxidation cocatalysts with their intimate contact is proposed to contribute to the high H2 production activity, which is different from the common view that the reduction and oxidation sites should be spatially separated to avoid the charge recombination.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
