Abstract:Modification of nickel titanate nanocubes with metal nanocrystals is a viable approach to build a Schottky heterojunction for efficient hydrogen generation. The deconvoluted XPS spectrum of Pt 4 f (peaks at 72.0 and 75.5 eV corresponding to Pt° and Pt2+) and Pd 3d3/2 (335.4 and 336.7 eV corresponding to Pd° and Pd2+) and presence of lattice fringes in HRTEM at 2.19 Å of Pd°, reveal the formation of heterojunction in Pd−NiTiO3 and Pt−NiTiO3 nanocubes. The solar hydrogen generation investigation exhibits 2‐fold … Show more
