説明

Nowadays, how to convert solar energy efficiently to other energies, such as chemical energy, is an important subject. In the present work, gold nanosphere (AuNS) monoencapsulated in TiO2 hollow nanosphere (Au–TiO2) and three-dimensional assembled array of Au–TiO2 (3D-array) were fabricated to carefully explore the multiscattering effect on the photocatalytic activity of H2 generation under simulated solar light and visible light irradiation, respectively. Au–TiO2 with the inner cavity diameter of 176 nm was uniformly synthesized via SiO2 protection method and then was used as building blocks for construction of 3D-array. The 3D-array exhibited a much higher photocatalytic activity of H2 generation (3.5 folds under visible light irradiation, 1.4 folds under solar light irradiation) than Au–TiO2. Single-particle plasmonic photoluminescence measurement and computational simulation of finite difference time domain (FDTD) were performed to elucidate the detailed mechanisms of photocatalysis. It was suggested ...
