Efficient solar light-driven hydrogen generation using an Sn₃O₄ nanoflake/graphene nanoheterostructure.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report Sn₃O₄ and Sn₃O₄ nanoflake/graphene for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from H₂O and H₂S under natural "sunlight" irradiation. The Sn₃O₄/graphene composites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method at relatively low temperatures (150 °C). The incorporation of graphene in Sn₃O₄ exhibits remarkable improvement in solar light absorption, with improved photoinduced charge separation due to formation of the heterostructure. The highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate for the Sn₃O₄/graphene nanoheterostructure was observed as 4687 μmol h^-1 g^-1 from H₂O and 7887 μmol h^-1 g^-1 from
