Abstract

Presently, combining MoP as a co-catalyst and another subjective semiconductor into a composite catalyst often requires the use of various complex reduction methods. In this study, a TiO2/MoP composite photocatalyst with high catalytic performance was successfully prepared by a facile ultrasonic dispersion method. The results of the hydrogen evolution performance, compared to the TiO2, showed that the TiO2 coupling with the MoP co-catalyst remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic performance. The optimized TiO2/MoP-5p catalyst had the highest H2-evolution rate of 4.3 mmolg−1 h−1 (AQE = 8.3%) under UV light irradiation, which is 19 times higher than that of pure TiO2. In addition, it had a good stability. Due to the low impedance and the metal–semiconductor system between the TiO2 and MoP, the constructed TiO2/MoP hybrid can effectively separate the photogenerated electrons and holes, and further improve the photocatalytic activity.
