H2 production over dye-sensitized Pt/TiO2 nanoparticles with mesostructures under visible light was investigated by using methanol as electron donors. Three types of Ru(II) bipyridyl complexes, which can be attached to Pt/m-TiO2 with different linkage modes, show different photosensitization. The dye tightly linked with m-TiO2 has better durability but the lowest H2 evolution efficiency, whereas the loosely attached dyes possess higher H2 evolution efficiency and preferable durability. It seems that the dynamic equilibrium between the linkage of ground state dye with TiO2 and the divorce of oxidization state dye from the surfaces plays a crucial role in the photochemical behavior during photocatalyst sensitization process. The binuclear Ru(II) shows a better photosensitization in comparison with mono- nuclear Ru(II) dyes due to its large conjugation system and “antenna effect”, which, in turn, improve the visible light harvesting and electron transfer between the dye and TiO2.

Hydrogen production over dye-sensitized Pt/P25 under visible-light irradiation was investigated by using methanol or TEOA as an electron donor. The binuclear Ru(II) dye (Ru2(bpy)4L1-PF6) shows the best photosensitization in both sacrificial reagent solutions due to its larger conjugation system and “antenna effect”, which is loosely linked with TiO2 and exhibits more steady and higher increases in H2 evolution upon prolonging the irradiation time in comparison with the tightly linked N719. The dynamic equilibrium between the linkage of ground dye and divorce of oxidized dye from TiO2 can enhance the electron injection and hinder the backward transfer, and then improve the H2 evolution efficiency.

H 2 production in a water-acetonitrile solution containing iodide as an electron donor was investigated over dye-sensitized Pt∕TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light irradiation, as a potential water-splitting system based on an iodide redox mediator. The rates of H2 evolution decreased with increasing proportion of water in the solutions, because of a decrease in the energy gap between the redox potential of I3−∕I− and the highest occupied molecular orbital levels of the dyes, which decreases the efficiency of electron transfer from I− to dye.
