Novel Approach to Synthesis of AgZnS and TiO(2) Decorated on Reduced Graphene Oxide Ternary Nanocomposite for Hydrogen Evolution Effect of Enhanced Synergetic Factors
In this work, a novel ternary nanocomposites AgZnS-TiO(2)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was successfully synthesized by a facile soft ultrasonic-reduction condition as low as 70 °C. During the ultrasound reaction, the reduction of GO and the growth of AgZnS and TiO(2) crystals occurred simultaneously...

description | In this work, a novel ternary nanocomposites AgZnS-TiO(2)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was successfully synthesized by a facile soft ultrasonic-reduction condition as low as 70 °C. During the ultrasound reaction, the reduction of GO and the growth of AgZnS and TiO(2) crystals occurred simultaneously in conjunction with the deposition of AgZnS and TiO(2) crystals onto the surface of the graphene. The synthesized nanocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, UV–Vis DRS, photoluminescence spectrometer, and photocurrent and CV. The AgZnS-G-T was shown as catalytic HER with some synnegetic factors such as pH-universal, temperature, and ultrasonic condition. After 4 h, it was observed that AgZnS-TiO(2)-RGO has the highest efficiency of photocatalytic activity through hydrogen production by water splitting, which achieved the highest hydrogen evolution rate of 930.45 μmol/g at buffer solution (pH = 5), which was superior to AgZnS-G (790.1 µmole/g) and AgZnS (701.2 µmole/g). Such a significant hydrogen evolution amount far exceeded that of undoped TiO(2) and RGO. The H(2) evolution amounts increased significantly at ultrasonic irradiation power of 80 MHz. AgZnS-G-T demonstrates the higher H(2) evolution amounts of 985 µmole/g at 80 MHz. Its photocatalytic hydrogen-evolution activity remained at a high level over four cycles (16 h) nanoparticle. |
