The photodeposition method is useful for the preparation of metal-loaded photocatalysts, by which the metal precursors are adsorbed on the photocatalyst surface and reduced by photoexcited electrons to typically form metallic nanoparticles. In the present study, the photodeposition process of Pt nanoparticles was investigated on anatase and rutile TiO2 photocatalysts. It was found that on the anatase surface, only some of the Pt4+ precursors were first adsorbed in an adsorption equilibrium and reduced to form a smaller number of initial metal species; then, they functioned as electron receivers to reduce the remaining precursors on their metallic surfaces and become larger particles. In contrast, the rutile surface can adsorb most of the precursors and quickly reduce them upon photoirradiation to form nanoparticles, giving a larger number of small nanoparticles. As a result, the Pt-loaded rutile photocatalyst exhibited higher activity in hydrogen evolution from an aqueous methanol solution than the Pt-loaded anatase photocatalyst.

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.
