| Popis: | [EN] The efficiency of solar hydrogen evolution closely depends on the fast transfer of charge carriers and the effective use of visible light. In this work, a novel photocatalyst SiO2/ZnCdS/Pt was successfully prepared to solve these two problems. An artistic structure of the photocatalyst was constructed and ZnCdS was successfully wrapped on the surface of SiO2 spheres with uniform Pt nanoparticles (NPs) in a size of 4.1 +/- 0.7 nm highly dispersed on the ZnCdS shell through the self-assembly method. Pt NPs can absorb the scattered light in the near field of SiO2 spheres. With the synergistic effect of SiO2 spheres and small highly dispersed Pt NPs, the absorption of visible light was significantly promoted. Meanwhile, the electron-hole recombination was also effectively inhibited, thus improving the photocatalytic activity. The hydrogen production activity of the highly efficient photocatalyst was as high as 8.3 mmol g(-1) h(-1) under visible light (lambda > 420 nm). The photocatalytic activity of SiO2/ZnCdS/Pt was 2.9 times higher than that of the ZnCdS/Pt photocatalyst.
