Abstract

Metallic Ni₃ P/Ni can be used as a co-catalyst to replace noble metal Pt for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, due to its excellent trapping-electron ability. The applications of metallic Ni₃ P/Ni co-catalyst on CdS, Zn_0.5 Cd_0.5 S, TiO₂ (Degussa P25) and g-C₃ N₄ are further confirmed, indicating its versatile applicability nature like Pt.

Keywords: co-catalysts; hydrogen; metallic; non-noble-metal; photocatalytic activity.
