Platinum decorated hierarchical top-porous/bottom-tubular TiO2 arrays for enhanced gas phase photocatalytic activity
Abstract
In this communication, Pt nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully loaded on hierarchical TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTs) for efficient decomposition of gas phase pollutants. The loading of Pt NPs on TiO2 NTs significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity due to reduction of the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes.
