As for scientific research and practical applications, a study on controlling optical and photocatalytic water splitting properties of Au@TiO2 one-dimensional (1D) micro- and nano-structures is very important to fabricate high-performance TiO2-based photovoltaic and solar energy photoelectric chemical cells and their applications in conversion of solar energy to power, and generation of hydrogen by photocatalytic water splitting. In this project, on the basis of SPR property of Au nanostructures and unique structural feature and optoelectronic property of 1D TiO2 micro- and nano-structures, our aim is to fabricate Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures with controlled optical and photocatalytic water splitting properties. We will design and develop a new strategy to fabricate Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures with controlled morphology and size. We also will investigate and tailor the optical and photocatalytic water splitting properties of the as-achieved Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures. A rational mechanism in light absorption in entire UV-visible region, and conversion and separation of electron-hole pairs of Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures will be proposed, based on the experimental results of optical properties. We will elucidate the enhanced mechanism of photocatalytic water splitting of 1D Au@TiO2 micro- and nano-structures, on the bases of the investigations of photocatalytic water splitting properties. The results of this project will provide experimental and theoretical guidance for the controlled fabrication of Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures, and tailoring their optical and photocatalytic water splitting properties. In addition, the results of this project will lay a scientific foundation for practical applications of Au@TiO2 1D micro- and nano-structures with high-performance conversion efficiency of solar energy to power, and high-performance hydrogen generation efficiency by photocatalytic water splitting.
