Abstract
Iridium hydroxide (Ir(OH)3) nanoparticles exhibiting high catalytic activity for water oxidation were immobilized inside mesospaces of a silica-nanoparticles assembly (SiO2NPA) to suppress catalytic deactivation due to agglomeration. The Ir(OH)3 nanoparticles immobilized in SiO2NPA (Ir(OH)3/SiO2NPA) catalyzed water oxidation by visible light irradiation of a solution containing persulfate ion (S2O82−) and tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) ion ([RuII(bpy)3]2+) as a sacrificial electron acceptor and a photosensitizer, respectively. The yield of oxygen (O2) based on the used amount of S2O82− was maintained over 80% for four repetitive runs using Ir(OH)3/SiO2NPA prepared by the co-accumulation method, although the yield decreased for the reaction system using Ir(OH)3/SiO2NPA prepared by the equilibrium adsorption method or Ir(OH)3 nanoparticles without SiO2NPA support under the same reaction conditions. Immobilization of Ir(OH)3 nanoparticles in Al3+-doped SiO2NPA (Al-SiO2NPA) results in further enhancement of the catalytic stability with the yield of more than 95% at the fourth run of the repetitive experiments.
