Abstract Hydrogen storage in MgH 2 is an ideal solution for realizing the safe of hydrogen. High operating temperature, however, required hydrogen induced by high thermodynamic stability and kinetic barrier. Herein, flower‐like microspheres uniformly constructed N‐doped TiO nanosheets coated with TiN nanoparticles are fabricated to integrate light absorber thermo‐chemical catalysts at a nanometer scale driving using solar energy. situ transformed into x O y Ti/TiH distributed inside matrix during cycling, which pairs serve as absorbers that exhibit strong localized surface plasmon resonance effect full‐spectrum absorbance capability. On other hand, it theoretically experimentally demonstrated intimate interface between TiH can not only thermodynamically kinetically promote H desorption from but also simultaneously weaken Ti─H bonds hence turn improve combination weakened bonds. The uniform integration photothermal catalytic leads direct action heat generated on initiating capacity 6.1 wt.% under 27 sun.

The present study investigates the phase formation of titanium oxynitride (TiO x N y ) system using “oxide‐to‐oxynitride” and “nitride‐to‐oxynitride” synthesis strategies. XRD patterns both materials show peaks corresponding to Ti–N Ti–O lattices, confirming Ti–oxynitride system. Accordingly, presence Ti 3+ –N 3− 4+ –2O 2− signals is also confirmed by XPS analysis. TiO derived from oxide (TO‐TON) exhibits wide visible light absorption with a narrow‐bandgap energy ≈2.30 eV, while nitride‐derived–TiO (TN‐TON) relatively wide‐bandgap (≈2.92 eV) along plasmonic band TiN. In line this, an enhanced recombination resistance charge carriers extended lifetime are observed for TN‐TON (4.47 ns) TO‐TON (4.33 systems via photoluminescence time‐resolved Consequently, demonstrates superior H 2 /NH 3 production at rate ≈1432/646 μmol g −1 h under solar irradiation, it ≈1136/553 These efficiencies ≈20× 3× times higher than bare TiN , respectively, toward production. insights this demonstrate that nitride‐ oxide‐based precursors likely manifest synergistic competitive properties, in resulting
