Abstract:
AbstractConversion of energy from photons in sunlight to hydrogen through solar splitting of water is an important technology. The rising significance of producing hydrogen from solar light via water splitting has motivated a surge of developing semiconductor solar-active nanostructures as photocatalysts and photoelectrodes. Traditional strategies have been developed to enhance solar light absorption (e.g., ion doping, solid solution, narrow-band-gap semiconductor or dye sensitization) and improve charge separation/transport to prompt surface reaction kinetics (e.g., semiconductor combination,

The production of MgTiO3 regular nanoparticles through the reaction of MgSO4 extracted from dolomite with TiO2 has been successfully achieved. In this process, the extraction of MgSO4 from dolomite using H2SO4 precedes the synthesis of MgTiO3 nanoparticles. To ensure the highest purity of the final product, crucial parameters such as starting materials ratio and calcination temperature were meticulously explored. Through systematic experimentation, the optimal conditions for synthesis were determined to be a 1:1.5 ratio of TiO2 to MgSO4, coupled with a calcination temperature of 300 °C. This c
