A series of hybrid inorganic–organic niobates HCa2Nb3O10×ROH, containing n-alkoxy groups of primary alcohols (R = Me, Et, Pr, Bu, Hx, and Dc) grafted in the interlayer space, has been studied for the first time in relation to photocatalytic hydrogen generation from a model 1 mol % aqueous solution of methanol under ultraviolet irradiation. Photocatalytic activity was measured both for bare samples and for their composites with Pt nanoparticles as a cocatalyst. The advanced measurement scheme allowed monitoring the volume concentration of a sample in a suspension during the experiment, its pH, and possible exfoliation of layered compounds into nanolayers. In the series of n-alkoxy derivatives, the maximum rate of hydrogen evolution was achieved over a Pt-loaded ethoxy derivative HCa2Nb3O10×EtOH/Pt. Its apparent quantum efficiency of 20.6% in the 220–350 nm range was found not to be caused by changes in the light absorption region or specific surface area upon ethanol grafting. Moreover, the amounts of hydrogen released during the measurements significantly exceeded those of interlayer organic components, indicating that hydrogen is generated from the reaction solution rather than from the hybrid material.

The photocatalytic activities of polyoriented and preferential Pt(111) nanoparticles supported on TiO2(Pt(poly)/TiO2and Pt(111)/TiO2) were investigated by the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of Pt(111)/TiO2was 1.6 times higher than that of Pt(poly)/TiO2. The corresponding apparent activation energy on Pt(111)/TiO2was about 2.39 KJ/mol, while on Pt(poly)/TiO2, it was about 4.83 KJ/mol. The difference in the apparent activation energies was probably due to the diversity in the number of surface atoms at corners and edges between the Pt(poly) and Pt(111) nanoparticles. The photocurrent of Pt(111)/TiO2was also bigger than that of Pt(poly)/TiO2, implying that the surface structure of Pt(111) nanoparticles can improve the transfer efficiency of photo-induced electrons from the conduction band of TiO2to Pt nanoparticles. As a result, the surface structure of Pt nanoparticles played an important role in the reactivity and kinetics performance of hydrogen evolution. Therefore, the photocatalytic properties of Pt/TiO2strongly depended on the surface structure of Pt nanoparticles.
