Engineering TiO2 nanosheets with exposed (001) facets via the incorporation of Au clusters for boosted photocatalytic hydrogen production†
Abstract
Au cluster-incorporated TiO2 nanosheets with exposed (001) facets were designed and fabricated using a facile self-assembly strategy. The glutathione-protected Au clusters act as both a co-catalyst and a photosensitizer and significantly enhance the light absorption efficiency and photocatalytic hydrogen production simultaneously.
