Squaraine dyes are organic dyes having strong and narrow absorption properties in the near-infrared region that are widely used in photovoltaic and biomedical applications. In this work, squaraine dye (SA1) was synthesized as a dye sensitizer for a dye-sensitized photocatalytic system, which was composed ofSA1and Pt-loaded TiO2powder photocatalyst (SA1/Pt-TiO2). TheSA1/Pt-TiO2system exhibited a good hydrogen production performance within 150 h and an apparent quantum yield of 1.4% under 800 nm monochromatic light irradiation. However, during the photocatalytic reaction, the photocatalytic activity ofSA1/Pt-TiO2decreased due to photodecomposition. Ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy,1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry measurements were performed to investigate the mechanism of the decomposition of the squaraine moiety ofSA1, the decomposition process, and the structure of the decomposed material. The results show that even without the Pt-loaded TiO2powder photocatalyst,SA1undergoes photodissociation, which cleaves the bond between the indoline moiety and the square acid.Graphical abstract
