Abstract

AbstractWhen using single atoms (SAs) as a co‐catalyst in photocatalytic H2 generation, achieving a well‐dispersed, evenly distributed and adjustable SA surface density on a semiconductor surface is a challenging task. In the present work we use the planar adsorption of tetrakis‐(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐porphyrin (TCPP) and its platinum coordinated analogue, Pt‐TCPP, onto anatase TiO2 surfaces to establish a spatially controlled decoration of SAs. We show that the surface Pt SA density can be very well controlled by co‐adsorption of Pt‐TCPP and TCPP in the planar monolayer regime, and by adjusting the Pt‐TCPP to TCPP ratio a desired well dispersed surface density of SAs up to 2.6×105 atoms μm−2 can be established (which is the most effective Pt SA loading for photocatalysis). This distribution and the SA state are maintained after a thermal treatment in air, and an optimized SA density as well as a most active form of Pt for photocatalytic H2 evolution can be established and maintained.
