Plasmonic Ag decorated TiO2 nano-wire film was firstly prepared by the combination of a hydrothermal method and a microwave-assisted chemical reduction process. The results show that Ag deposited TiO2 film exhibits obvious visible light absorption due to surface plasmon resonance absorption of Ag nanoparticles. Besides, fluorescence quenching is observed in the composite film under the excitation of 250 nm. Photocatalytic tests show that Ag deposited TiO2 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity for H2 production by water splitting due to the synergistic effect between charge transfer and surface plasmon resonance absorption properties of Ag nanoparticles.
