At present, composite photocatalysts containing MoS2 as a co-catalyst and a subjective semiconductor material are usually obtained via various complex reduction methods using NH4MoS4 or Na2MoO4 as a precursor. In this work, a simple method was proposed to synthesize MoS2–TiO2 composite photocatalysts via mechanochemistry using MoS2 as a direct precursor. 4.0% MoS2–TiO2 after ball-milling at 300 rpm for 2 h possessed the maximum photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution. The rate of H2 evolution was up to 150.7 μmol h−1, which was 48.6 times higher than that of pure TiO2. The MoS2–TiO2 composite possesses stable photocatalytic performance for H2 evolution. Photoelectrochemical measurements confirmed the electronic interaction between TiO2 and MoS2. The photo-generated electrons on the conduction band of TiO2 could easily transfer to the MoS2 co-catalyst, which promoted efficient charge separation and improved the photocatalytic performance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
