Özet

Carbon Quantum dots (CQDs) were obtained from Gingko biloba by using microwave technique, which is easy, time-saving, cost-effective, non-toxic and environmental friendly way. TiO2 were sensitized by green-prepared CQDs to obtain CQDs/TiO2 composite. The characterizations of the CQDs and CQDs/TiO2 were performed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HR-TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS), Photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of CQDs/TiO2 system was studied under visible light (lambda > 420 nm) irradiation in the aqueous solution by using triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron donor. When Pt was used as a co-catalyst, CQDs/TiO2/Pt exhibited improved hydrogen evolution rate (1502 mu mol h(-1)g(-1)) compared to CQDs/TiO2 composite (665 mu mol h(-1)g(-1)).
