Loading NiS nano-clusters can significantly enhance the photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of TNTs. The optimum NiS loading content was found to be 8 wt% and the corresponding hydrogen production rate is ca. 7486 μmol/h/g, being about 79 times higher than that of pure TNTs. This enhancement of photocatalytic H2 evolution was attributed to the synergistic effect between NiS and TNTs.展开更多
