| Abstract | In this work, Au@Ag core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) with variable Ag shell thickness were synthesized and immobilized on TiO2 nanofibers (TNF). Further, the photocatalytic activity of such TNF was demonstrated using methylene blue (MB) dye as a model pollutant. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the shift of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption confirmed the formation of Au@Ag core–shell NPs. The Ag shell layer suppressed the defect related emission of TNF and significantly enhanced the charge separation at the interface. The photocatalytic activity of Au@TNF and Au@Ag@TNF was assessed by the degradation of MB dye under ultraviolet (UV) and solar light irradiation. Compared to the TNF and Au@TNF, Au@Ag@TNF revealed efficient photocatalytic activity attributable to the presence of two SPR generated hot electrons from the excited Au core and Ag shell under solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of the Au@Ag@TNF was decreased with the increase in Ag shell thickness. The Au@Ag@TNF core–shell photocatalyst showed ∼3 times higher photocatalytic activity than TNF under solar light irradiation. The recyclability results showed a slight reduction (∼18%) in the photocatalytic performance of Au@Ag@TNF after carrying out five consecutive runs of photodegradation of MB dye. Such NPs immobilized on TNF are thus a promising platform for the development of photocatalytic wastewater treatment and other applications such as sensing, photovoltaics and photocatalytic water splitting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
