Article Abstract
Titanium dioxide doped with Pt(IV) ions was synthesized via a sol-gel method, incorporating a sol purification process through dialysis. The doped Pt(IV) ions were reduced by UV light irradiation to obtain a transparent Pt-TiO sol, with Pt(0) acting as a cocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. The hydrogen evolution activity of Pt-TiO sol was evaluated under UV light irradiation using methanol as a sacrificial reagent. 0.05 atom % Pt-TiO sol remained in the sol state without precipitation after 10 h of UV light irradiation. The amount of hydrogen produced after 10 h of light irradiation was 1195 μmol, with a turnover number (TON) of 664.1, a turnover frequency (TOF) of 66.4 h, and an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 0.86%. The sol-gel synthesis from the molecular level is thought to result in Pt ions being doped inside the TiO particles, maintaining high dispersibility by suppressing particle growth due to the aggregation of Pt(0) during the UV reduction of Pt(IV) ions. These results show that the Pt-TiO photocatalyst has a high renewable energy factor because it can be synthesized at room temperature, and the aggregation of Pt-TiO particles is suppressed by making full use of a sol-gel method.

The conversion of bio-based molecules into valuable chemicals is essential for advancing sustainable processes and addressing global resource challenges. However, conventional catalytic methods often demand harsh conditions and suffer from low product selectivity. This study introduces a series of bifunctional PdPt catalysts supported on TiO, designed for achieving selective and mild-temperature catalysis in biomass conversion.

Highly transparent photocatalytic self-cleaning surfaces capable of harvesting near-visible (365-430 nm) photons were synthesized and characterized. This helps to address a current research gap in self-cleaning surfaces, in which photocatalytic coatings that exhibit activity at wavelengths longer than ultraviolet (UV) generally have poor optical transparency, because of broadband scattering and the attenuation of visible light. In this work, the wavelength-dependent photocatalytic activity of Pt-modified TiO (Pt-TiO) particles was characterized, which exhibited activity for wavelengths up to 430 nm.

The introduction of inorganic additive or nanoparticles into fluorine-free proton exchange membranes (PEMs) can improve proton conductivity and have considerable effects on the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Based on the sol-gel method and in situ polycondensation, novel cross-linked PEM and nanocomposite PEMs based on a sulfonated polysulfone (SPSU) matrix were prepared by introducing graphene oxide (GO) polymeric brushes and incorporating Pt-TiO nanoparticles into an SPSU matrix, respectively. The results showed that the incorporation of Pt-TiO nanoparticles could obviously enhance self-humidifying and thermal stability.
