Driving NiTiO3 photocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction with near-infrared light

Abstract

A nickel titanate (NTO) photocatalyst has been developed for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with an exceptionally broad light wavelength excitation ranging from visible to infrared. Specifically, by loading CoOxas the co-catalyst, the apparent quantum yields for the OER were ca. 2.2%, 1.0%, and 0.8% at wavelengths of 470, 760, and 850 nm, respectively. The achievements reveal that the NTO photocatalyst is highly efficient even under illumination with near-infrared (NIR) light, which confers the potential for highly efficient solar-driven oxidation reactions.</p
