The MoS 2 quantum dots (QDs) modified black Ti 3þ -TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 hollow nanosphere heterojunction is synthesized via the continuous chemical template deposition and sculpture-reduction processes. The results of structural characterizations imply that the Ti 3þ -TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 QDs hollow nanosphere heterojunction is prepared successfully. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of the B-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 QDs (%1524.37 μmol g À1 h À1 ) exhibits an enhancement of %33 folds compared with the normal TiO 2 . Furthermore, the process of photocatalysis and the mechanism of photocatalytic HER enhancement are explored, which can be ascribed to the HER activity sites of MoS 2 QDs, Ti 3þ /O v ions in the Ti 3þ -TiO 2 , and hollow nanosphere heterojunction, which are proved by electrochemical measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
