AbstractOxynitride photocatalysts hold promise for renewable solar hydrogen production via water splitting owing to their intense visible light absorption. Cocatalyst loading is essential for activation of such oxynitride photocatalysts. However, cocatalyst nanoparticles form aggregates and exhibit weak interaction with photocatalysts, which prevents eliciting their intrinsic photocatalytic performance. Here, we demonstrate efficient utilization of photoexcited electrons in a single-crystalline particulate BaTaO2N photocatalyst prepared with the assistance of RbCl flux for H2 evolution reactions via sequential decoration of Pt cocatalyst by impregnation-reduction followed by site-selective photodeposition. The Pt-loaded BaTaO2N photocatalyst evolves H2 over 100 times more efficiently than before, with an apparent quantum yield of 6.8% at the wavelength of 420 nm, from a methanol aqueous solution, and a solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 0.24% in Z-scheme water splitting. Enabling uniform dispersion and intimate contact of cocatalyst nanoparticles on single-crystalline narrow-bandgap particulate photocatalysts is a key to efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

The catalytic activity of oxidation-reduction pre-treated Ni3Al powder for methane steam reforming was examined. The oxidation-reduction pre-treatment consisted of two steps: oxidation in air at various temperatures from 973 to 1373 K, and then followed by reduction in H2 at 873 K. It was found that the oxidation-reduction treatments significantly reduced the onset temperature of activity, i.e., improved the activity of Ni3Al powder at low temperatures. The characterization of Ni3Al surface showed that an outer surface layer of fine NiO particles were formed on the surface of Ni3Al after oxidation. These NiO particles were reduced to metallic Ni by the subsequent reduction treatment, resulting in the high activity for methane steam reforming. These results indicate that the Ni3Al can form highly active surface structure with oxidation-reduction treatment, having excellent heat resistance.

Monodisperse IrNiFe alloy nanoparticles with an average diameter of 2.2 nm have been synthesized by a colloidal synthetic method. By taking advantage of the synergistic effect between Ir, Ni and Fe and the ultrasmall NPs with narrow size distribution, the as-synthesized IrNiFe catalyst exhibits superior HER/OER performances in acidic media.
