	abstract = {MCM-48 cubic mesoporous materials contg. CdS and spatially isolated titania nanoclusters were prepd. in this study.  Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption isotherm, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), at. absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), XPS, and ESR (EPR) studies were employed for the characterization of the CdS contg. Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous materials.  In the current study, all the samples showed photocatalytic activity under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradn. for prodn. of hydrogen from splitting of water without Pt as a co-catalyst.  The solar hydrogen evolution rate by visible light irradn. seemed to be dependent on CdS and TiO2 content and the most active photocatalyst produced hydrogen at a rate of 2.726 mmol/h/gcatalyst.  The apparent quantum yield of the most active photocatalyst was estd. to be 36.3\%. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {CdS incorporated Si-MCM-48 and Ti-MCM-48 cubic phased mesoporous photocatalysts were prepd. by a two-step modification synthetic approach under relatively mild conditions.  A highly efficient (24.8\%, apparent quantum yield (AQY)) photocatalyst for visible light (λ > 400 nm) enabled solar hydrogen evolution can be realized by assembling CdS with Ti-MCM-48 cubic mesoporous materials in the absence of a noble metal co-catalyst.  The photocatalytic mechanism was thoroughly investigated and demonstrated by conducting a wealth of characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption isotherm, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), XPS, UPS (UVPS), at. absorption spectroscopy (AAS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence emission decay, and ESR (EPR) spectroscopy studies.  This work is the first to unambiguously identify the band positions of both CdS and TiO2 encapsulated in porous materials.  The photocatalytic activity of the CdS incorporated Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous photocatalysts was found to be dependent on the content of both CdS and TiO2.  A correlation between the electron injection efficiency and the photocatalytic activity was established as well in the CdS incorporated Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous photocatalysts. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {Platinized TiO2 photocatalysts of different compns. of Pt0 and PtO2 were prepd. by modifying the synthesis procedures.  The physicochem. properties of the composite materials were characterized by XPS and high-resoln. transmission electron microscopy.  Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements confirmed the presence of Pt species existing as PtO2 and/or mixts. of Pt0 and PtO2.  The composite material, Pt-TiO2-2\%H, contained a high amt. of metallic Pt0 and PtO2 in close proximity with TiO2 that promoted an enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity under simulated solar light irradn.  Although Pt-TiO2-2\%C and Pt-TiO2-2\%T consisted of similar compns. of PtO2, these oxidized platinum species seem to appear further apart from TiO2 in Pt-TiO2-2\%C than Pt-TiO2-2\%T.  This caused dramatic variation in their optical behaviors such as strong fluorescence quenching and lower photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity in the former photocatalyst.  A photocatalyst prepd. by the conventional photodeposition method was also prepd., characterized, and its photocatalytic activity assessed.  This work provides an opportunity to understand the role of PtO2 for photocatalytic prodn. of hydrogen from platinized TiO2 composites and the importance of heterojunctions in such photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.
