Pt@TiO2 core–shell nanostructures were prepared through a hydrothermal method. The dye-sensitization of these Pt@TiO2 core–shell structures allows for a high photocatalytic activity for the generation of hydrogen from proton reduction under visible-light irradiation. When the dyes and TiO2 were co-excited through the combination of two irradiation beams with different wavelengths, a synergic effect was observed, which led to a greatly enhanced H2 generation yield. This is attributed to the rational spatial distribution of the three components (dye, TiO2, Pt), and the vectored transport of photogenerated electrons from the dye to the Pt particles via the TiO2 particle bridge.

Conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in mitigating pollution of water bodies is of significant importance to public health due to the fact that Cr(VI) is known to be a potent carcinogen, while Cr(III) is relatively low in toxicity. Photocatalytic approaches are considered as important means to achieve this reduction. Here, TiO2/SnS2 core-shell nanostructures have been produced using a single-step hydrothermal method and its photocatalytic activity is tested for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). The structural and optical properties of the as-synthesized products are characterized by XRD, HRTEM, Raman, FTIR, XPS and DRS techniques. The present work reveals that by calcining the core-shell nanoparticles in Ar atmosphere a defective Ti3O5 phase is formed as the core with low band gap, and hence, offers improved light absorption in the visible range. However, its photoactivity was found to be lower than that of the core-shell nanoparticles annealed in oxidizing atmosphere. The observed lower photoreduction was due to the presence of midgap states which acted as recombination centres and hence, reduced the photocatalytic activity.

Aiming to achieve enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability toward the generation of H2 from water, we have synthesized noble metal-free core-shell nanoparticles of graphene (G)-wrapped CdS and TiO2 (CdS@G@TiO2) by a facile hydrothermal method. The interlayer thickness of G between the CdS core and TiO2 shell is optimized by varying the amount of graphene quantum dots (GQD) during the synthesis procedure. The most optimized sample, i.e., CdS@50G@TiO2 generated 1510 µmole g−1 h−1 of H2 (apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) = 5.78%) from water under simulated solar light with air mass 1.5 global (AM 1.5G) condition which is ~2.7 times and ~2.2 time superior to pure TiO2 and pure CdS respectively, along with a stable generation of H2 during 40 h of continuous operation. The increased photocatalytic activity and stability of the CdS@50G@TiO2 sample are attributed to the enhanced visible light absorption and efficient charge separation and transfer between the CdS and TiO2 due to incorporation of graphene between the CdS core and TiO2 shell, which was also confirmed by UV-vis, photoelectrochemical and valence band XPS measurements.
