The resultant materials were well characterized by powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, XPS, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).  The photocatalytic performances of these materials were evaluated by monitoring the amt. of hydrogen evolved from water under visible light irradn.  The amt. of hydrogen evolved from MBA stabilized CdS-TNT composite materials were higher compared to MBA stabilized CdS, suggesting an important role of the TNT support.  The enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation in MBA stabilized CdS-TNT composite materials compared to CdS-MBA might have arisen from the effective charge sepn. in CdS-TNT composite materials, which was further supported by PL studies.

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.
