To study the activity of a composite photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen production,we prepared and loaded MoS2 nanosheets with TiO2 nanoparticles using a hydrothermal method,thus forming a MoS2/TiO2 heterojunction composite catalyst.The structural and optical properties of the catalyst were characterized and analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,X-ray powder diffraction,UV-Vis absorption spectra,Raman spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The activity of the photocatalyst was evaluated by its photocatalytic hydrogen production rate.The corresponding MoS2 content of the catalyst was found to be 30%,and upon the exposure to 365nm UV light,a high photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 1004 μmol-1.h-1·g-1 was obtained.The catalytic rate is much greater than that obtained with MoS2 or Tio2 catalysts.The high hydrogen production rate indicated that the use of a MoS2/TiO2 composite catalyst can significantly improve the UV-induced photocatalytic hydrogen production performance.Because of the excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of the MoS2/Tio2 composite,we studied and analyzed the hydrogen production mechanism.%为了研究复合光催化剂在光催化中的制氢效率,采用水热法制备了MoS2纳米片,然后通过水热法在MoS2纳米片上负载了TiO2纳米颗粒,形成了MoS2/TiO2异质结复合催化剂.采用冷场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、×射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV-Vis)、拉曼光谱(Raman),X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对材料的结构和光学性能表征并进行分析.通过光催化制氢测试对光催化剂进行评价,实验结果表明,在波长为365 nm的紫外光照射下,最高光催化制氢速率为1004 μmol·h-1.g-1,对应的催化剂的MoS2含量为30%,其催化速率远大于单一的MoS2和TiO2,表明MoS2/-iO2复合催化剂在紫外光照下能显著提高光催化产氢性能.基于MoS2/TiO2复合光催化剂优越的光催化产氢性能,本文对复合光催化剂的产氢机理做了研究和分析.
