Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Photocatalysis
  • Green Chemistry

Background:

  • Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a stable, biocompatible photocatalyst but suffers from charge carrier recombination and poor selectivity in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production.
  • The two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) for H2O2 synthesis is inefficient with pristine TiO2.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient CuO/TiO2 photocatalyst for enhanced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production.
  • To investigate the role of CuO nanoparticles as cocatalysts in improving charge separation and reaction selectivity.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of CuO nanoparticles anchored on TiO2 surface.
  • Photocatalytic evaluation of H2O2 production under irradiation.
  • Characterization using femtosecond transient absorption spectra (Fs-TAS) and in situ spectroscopic analyses.

Main Results:

  • The optimized CuO/TiO2 photocatalyst achieved a production rate of 19.48 mmol g-1 h-1, 162 times higher than pristine TiO2.
  • Excellent stability was observed over 7 hours of continuous irradiation, with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 7.30% at 365 nm.
  • Significant enhancement in photogenerated electron lifetime (5.8 times longer) confirmed improved charge separation and transfer.

Conclusions:

  • CuO/TiO2 serves as a highly efficient and stable photocatalyst for sustainable H2O2 production.
  • The strategy of anchoring CuO nanoparticles effectively promotes charge separation and facilitates the desired reaction pathways.
  • This work presents a cost-effective approach for producing H2O2 using advanced photocatalytic materials.
