Review Description

In this study, a novel molybdenum disulfide modified nickel titanate composite photocatalyst MoS/NiTiO was designed and synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The petal-like MoS is highly dispersive, which provides many active sites. The photocatalytic activity of MoS/NiTiO for hydrogen evolution is better than that of pure MoS and NiTiO nanosheets. The hydrogen evolution amount of MoS/NiTiO is 300.43 μmol, which is 5.3 and 1.9 times higher than of pure NiTiO and MoS, respectively. In addition, the catalyst 7% MoS/NiTiO has good stability through cyclic experiments. The results of photoluminescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical measurements show that the introduction of MoS accelerates the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated electrons. We have also proposed new discoveries for charge transfer mechanism of MoS/NiTiO composite catalyst, which will provide a novel way to develop simple and inexpensive photocatalysts.
