Charge Carrier Recombination

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely used as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the typically high density of bandgap trap states results in fast charge carrier recombination and poor electrical conductivity, and thereby weak PEC performance. Rational creation of oxygen vacancy (Vo) in TiO2 has been demonstrated as an effective method to modify the electronic and optical properties, as well as improved PEC performance. Different strategies have been developed to fabricate oxygen deficient TiO2 photoanodes, such as hydrogen treatment, thermal annealing, electrochemical reduction, flame reduction, and chemical reduction. In conjunction with oxygen vacancy creation, doping of TiO2 with elements further enhances the PEC activity by introducing other bandgap states. Various techniques, including ultrafast laser spectroscopy, have been employed to probe the chemical nature and associated charge carrier dynamics of the bandgap states.

Charge Carrier Recombination

To improve the high charge carrier recombination rate and low visible light absorption of {001} facets exposed TiO2 [TiO2(001)] nanosheets, few-layered MoS2 nanoparticles were loaded on the surfaces of TiO2(001) nanosheets by a simple photodeposition method. The photocatalytic activities towards Rhodamine B (RhB) were investigated. The results showed that the MoS2–TiO2(001) nanocomposites exhibited much enhanced photocatalytic activities compared with the pure TiO2(001) nanosheets. At an optimal Mo/Ti molar ratio of 25%, the MoS2–TiO2(001) nanocomposites displayed the highest photocatalytic activity, which took only 30[Formula: see text]min to degrade 50[Formula: see text]mL of RhB (50[Formula: see text]mg/L). The active species in the degradation reaction were determined to be h[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]OH according to the free radical trapping experiments. The reduced charge carrier recombination rate, enhanced visible light utilization and increased surface areas contributed to the enhanced photocatalytic performances of the 25% MoS2–TiO2(001) nanocomposites.
