Abstract

Abstract Cooperative coupling of photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production with organic synthesis has an expansive perspective in converting solar energy into storable chemical energy. However, traditional powder photocatalysts suffer from severe agglomeration, limited light absorption, poor gas reactant accessibility, and reusable difficulty, which greatly hinders their large‐scale application. Herein, floatable composite photocatalysts are synthesized by immobilizing hydrophobic TiO 2 and Bi 2 O 3 on lightweight polystyrene (PS) spheres via hydrothermal and photodeposition methods. The floatable photocatalysts are not only solar transparent, but also upgrade the contact between reactants and photocatalysts. Thus,…
