研究目的
To investigate the use of a Cu/Ni-based cyanide bridged coordination polymer as a co-catalyst on TiO2 for enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen production from glycerol/water mixtures under UV light.
研究成果
The CP-1/TiO2 composite, particularly at 5 wt% loading, significantly enhances photocatalytic hydrogen production due to efficient electron transfer from TiO2 to CP-1, which acts as a co-catalyst for proton reduction. This approach offers a noble-metal-free alternative for solar hydrogen production, with potential for future development of cost-effective photocatalysts.
研究不足
The study is limited to UV light irradiation; visible light activity was minimal. High glycerol concentrations reduced hydrogen production due to increased solution viscosity. The exact mechanism for Ni sites in hydrogen production remains unclear and requires further investigation. The scalability and long-term stability of the catalyst under industrial conditions were not addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing CP-1 and its composites with TiO2 (P25) at different weight percentages (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%), characterizing them using PXRD, DRS-UV/visible, TEM, XPS, CV, and PL, and testing photocatalytic hydrogen production in a glycerol/water mixture under UV light.

2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Samples included pristine CP-1, TiO2 (P25), and CP-1/TiO2 composites. Data were obtained from laboratory synthesis and characterization techniques.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included powder X-ray diffractometer, diffuse reflectance spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, cyclic voltammetry setup, photoluminescence spectrometer, UV lamp, Pyrex reactor, gas chromatograph (Shimadzu GC 2014), Mettler Toledo pH meter (S220), and fluorinedoped tin oxide electrodes. Materials included Cu(NO3)2·6H2O, K2[Ni(CN)4], 4,4?-dipy (1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane), ethylene glycol, TiO2 (P25), glycerol, and various solvents.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
CP-1 was synthesized by mixing solutions of Cu(NO3)2·6H2O, K2[Ni(CN)4], and 4,4?-dipy in ethylene glycol, yielding crystals after weeks. CP-1/TiO2 composites were prepared by sonicating desolvated CP-1 in water, adding TiO2, stirring, filtering, and drying. Photocatalytic experiments involved placing 5 mg catalyst in 25 mL of 5 vol% glycerol/water in a Pyrex reactor, degassing with N2, irradiating with UV lamp, and measuring H2 production hourly via GC.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using techniques such as PXRD for crystallinity, DRS-UV/visible for optical properties, TEM for morphology, XPS for elemental composition, CV for redox potentials, PL for electron transfer dynamics, and GC for hydrogen quantification. Statistical analysis included comparing hydrogen production rates and optimizing catalyst loading.
