Preparation, Characterization, and Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Activity of Y2Cu2O5-Based Compounds under Simulated Sunlight Irradiation

Y2Cu2O5 photocatalyst was successfully prepared via solid state reaction and further combined with TiO2 by a sol-gel method and a solid phase method, respectively. For comparison, Pt particles were loaded to prepare Pt-Y2Cu2O5 via a hydrogen reduction method. All the samples were characterized by th...
