Abstract:The challenge of achieving efficient
photocatalytic H2 production from water splitting without
sacrificial agents
remains
a significant hurdle. Herein, we demonstrate that the dual doping
of Cu/Co single atoms on Li-reduced blue TiO2 (Cu–Co
SA/BTO) can effectively modulate the charge separation of photogenerated
carriers during photocatalytic pure water splitting. Remarkably, the
H2 evolution rate of Cu–Co SA/BTO achieves a remarkable
value of 1238.15 μmol·g–1·h–1, surpassing that of BTO by 11 times. Particula… Show more
