An NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)/Pt/g-C3N4 catalyst promoting visible-light photocatalytic H2 production†
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized an efficient catalyst of NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)/Pt/g-C3N4 composites for the visible-light-driven H2 production reaction. Compared with Pt/g-C3N4, the as-synthesized NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)/Pt/g-C3N4 composites show greatly improved performance for photocatalytic H2 production. The highest H2 production rate of the NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)/Pt/g-C3N4 catalyst was found to be 3986 μmol h−1 g−1, which is much higher than that of Pt/g-C3N4 (1100 μmol h−1 g−1) under the same experimental conditions. The NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)/Pt/g-C3N4 catalyst has application potential for other photocatalytic reactions.
