In this work, transition metal oxide clusters (MnOx, FeOx, CoOx, NiOx, and CuOx, denoted as TM-TiO2) are in situ loaded on TiO2 nanosheets through one-pot reaction. Structural and pore structural characterizations prove that metal ions do not dope into the frameworks of TiO2 nanosheets. Through TEM and STEM, we can determine that clusters with ∼2 nm size are finely dispersed on TiO2 nanosheets. PL spectra and photoelectrochemical measurements suggest that these metal oxide clusters can serve as hole traps. Time-resolved PL spectra demonstrate that the charge-transfer process in TM-TiO2 is significantly accelerated, leading to higher charge separation efficiency. Metal oxide clusters show significant promotion effect in photocatalytic water oxidation to O2 compared to RuO2/TiO2 and IrO2/TiO2 nanosheets (denoted as Ru-TiO2(IM) and Ir-TiO2(IM)) prepared through conventional impregnation method. We also prepared RuO2/TiO2 and Ir/TiO2 nanosheets (denoted as Ru-TiO2(HT) and Ir-TiO2(HT)) through the in situ load...
