The integration of metallic Ag and TiMn significantly enhanced solar H2 production due to the combined effect of Schottky junction and heterojunction formation. The PIRET (plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer) effect of Ag and the consequent energy transfer to the surrounding lattice, and heterogeneous distribution of metal ions on the TiO2 surface with possible synergistic interactions among them, are additional reasons for efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion. TiMnAg-1 (0.5 wt % Ag-loaded on TiMn) and TiMn-3 (TiO2:Mn = 1:0.03 mol ratio) showed the highest H2 production rate (9.05 mmolh1g1), which is 60 times higher than that of bare TiO2 (0.16 mmolh1g1). TiMnAg-1 fabricated in a thin-film form shows 5.2 times higher solar H2 production activity than its powder counterpart. The interconnected mesoporous network in TiMnAg-1 is an additional advantage, which enhances diffusion and mass transfer during the reaction. The plausible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the TiMnAg nanocomposites involves direct energy and electron transfer from metallic Ag nanoparticles and Mn2O3 species, respectively, to TiO2, which is then utilized for the reduction of H+ to H2. 2026 American Chemical Society Subject The topic of the resource Ag/Mn₂O₃?TiO₂; energy conversion; green hydrogen; mesoporous; photocatalysis; thin film Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available American Chemical Society Relation A related resource ISSN: 25740962; Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
