Pt and Rh (oxides) were loaded on protonated layered pervoskite H1.9K0.3La0.5Bi0.1Ta2O7 by an in situ photodeposition method. It was found that, compared to Pt loading, the Rh loading facilitated the O-2 evolution and the ratio of H-2/O-2 was close to stoichiometric ratio (approximate to 2). The HRTEM and XPS analysis indicated that the Rh species loaded on HKLBT were Rh-0 and RhO2. The RhO2 loaded on HKLBT could provide the active sites for O-2 evolution by means of reducing the overpotential of O-2 evolution. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
