可見光驅動的催化反應因其能夠將豐富的太陽能轉化為可利用的化學能，尤其是環保的氫能而廣受關注。因此，為了能提升光電催化效率，嘗試開發電漿震盪子奈米材料和耦合過渡金屬硫化物異質結構。在這項研究中，電漿震盪子奈米材料—枝狀奈米銀線/鉑/氯化銀，通過電化學沉積法合成後，以浸塗法處理。至於耦合過渡金屬硫化物—二硫化鎳/八硫化九鈷/硫化二銅異質結構膜是由一個簡單的一步化學浴沉積法，以產生更多的高能熱電子系統，藉以促進電荷載體轉移。合成材料的形態特徵由掃描式電子顯微鏡（SEM）和穿透式電子顯微鏡（TEM）確定。樣品的特徵以XRD測定，通過能量分散光譜法和X射線光電子光譜法對樣品的元素組成進行分析。光學特性通過紫外線可見光光譜分析。然後，通過可見光驅動的析氫反應表現評估銀奈米線/鉑/氯化銀奈米複合物的光電觸媒活性與二硫化鎳/八硫化九鈷/硫化二銅的光電分析。實驗表明，枝狀奈米銀線/鉑/氯化銀奈米複合物表現出的效率高於枝狀奈米銀線和枝狀奈米銀線/鉑等其他複合材料。但是，過高的氯化銀濃度會降低此複合材料的活性。這是由於過厚的氯化銀半導體層阻礙了光線穿透因而降低其吸收效率。此外，二硫化鎳/八硫化九鈷/硫化二銅的三元異構體展現出與在可見光照射和全黑條件下的單元相比較低的過電位 。這種趨勢可以通過異質結的形成來解釋，該異質結減少了與電洞的結合促進了電子轉移並產生更多的活性點。此外，通過迴圈測試，來對銀奈米線/鉑/氯化銀和二硫化鎳/八硫化九鈷/硫化二銅膜的穩定性進行了試驗，且其皆保持了良好的穩定性。這些研究結合了不同的工程策略，提出了異質奈米晶體的設計和發展。

Visible light-driven catalytic reactions have received widespread attention because of the ability of converting abundant solar energy into accessible chemical energy, especially the clean H2 energy source. Consequently, to improve the photo-electrocatalytic efficiency, plasmonic nanomaterials and coupled transition metal sulfide heterostructures have been developed. In this study, we designed two nanocomposites: (1) plasmonic material (Ag branched nanowire: AgBW) hybridized with Pt catalyst and (2) coupled transition metal sulfide. First, the plasmonic nanocomposite, AgBNW/Pt/AgCl was synthesized by electrodeposition and followed by dip coating processes. Second, the coupled transition metal sulfides (NiS2/Co9S8/Cu2S) were fabricated by a simple one-step chemical bath deposition to form heterostructures films. For these nanocomposites, the morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM); the crystal structures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD); the elemental composition were analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS); the optical properties were analyzed by UV-visible diffuse spectroscopy. Then, photoelectrocatalytic activities of the AgBNW/Pt/AgCl and the NiS2/Co9S8/Cu2S heterostructures were evaluated by the performance of electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction under visible light irradiation. The AgBNW/Pt/AgCl exhibited the higher efficiency to decrease the overpotential than AgBNW and AgBNW/Pt when the AgCl was properly deposited. The AgCl layer prevented the recombination of electron-hole pairs, but the AgBNW was corroded during the AgCl deposition. The NiS2/Co9S8/Cu2S heterostructures exhibited lower overpotential compared to the single components both under visible light irradiation and in dark conditions. This behavior was explained by the heterojunction formation that reduced the electron-hole recombination, facilitated the electron transfer, and generated more active sites. Moreover, the stability of AgBNW/Pt/AgCl and NiS2/Co9S8/Cu2S films were investigated by the cyclic tests and exhibited good stability. These study presents an approach how to design and develop heterogeneous nanocomposites by combining different engineering strategies.
