Design of multicomponent aerogels and their performance in photocatalytic hydrogen production多元气凝胶的设计及其光催化制氢性能多组分气凝胶从预成形组分（i）的结晶TiO 2纳米颗粒，（ii）制备的Pt纳米颗粒，以及（ⅲ）多层还原的石墨烯氧化物（M-RGO），并随后为光催化H 2进化测试。Multicomponent aerogels were prepared from the preformed components (i) crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles, (ii) Pt nanoparticles as well as (iii) multilayer reduced graphene oxide (m-rGO) and were subsequently tested for photocatalytic H2 evolution. The multicomponent photocatalysts showed a 3D architecture consisting of crosslinked TiO2 nanoparticles which are decorated with (1–2 nm) platinum nanoparticles with embedded m-rGO. The three-component materials retained the mesoporosity and high surface area of pure TiO2 aerogels, as illustrated by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen sorption experiments. This architecture is responsible for the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity.Aerogels are a class of highly porous materials that combine unique properties like high specific surface area, low density and low thermal conductivity in a continuous 3D network of meso- to micropores which makes them attractive for photocatalytic applications /science/article/pii/S0920586114006117[14], /science/article/pii/S0920586114006117[15]?and?/science/article/pii/S0920586114006117[16]. In this context, the multicomponent aerogel strategy reported by Niederberger et al. provides a good approach to physically combine several different materials into one single architecture on the base of a TiO2 model system /science/article/pii/S0920586114006117[17]?and?/science/article/pii/S0920586114006117[18]. This work reports on such an assembly of multicomponent aerogels and their application in photocatalytic H2 production. The catalysts consist of chemically synthesized conductive carbon layers (m-rGO) and chemically synthesized platinum nanoparticles embedded in a porous semiconductor TiO2 anatase matrix. Upon combination of catalytic active and conducting components in aerogels an increase in
