    In this study, metal oxide composite (CoOCu<inf>2</inf>OZnO) and TiO<inf>2</inf> on graphene oxide composite (CCZ−G−T) were synthesized to improve visible light-driven H<inf>2</inf> evolution through the addition of a cation scavenger, ultrasonic effect, and magnetic field effect. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized through structural, surface, and electrochemical analyses with band structure. The photocatalyst showed hydrogen production of 792 μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> for 4 hours. Moreover, this CCZ−G−T photocatalyst exhibits relatively high photocatalytic activity at (530−810) μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> when using a scavenger, 1,190 μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> when using a magnetic field of 0.14 T, and 1,230 μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> when using ultrasonic waves. The CCZ−G−T composite exhibited 630 μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> under a magnetic field condition of 0.14 T for 1 hour, which was significantly higher than the hydrogen production rate of 510 μmol·g<sup>−1</sup> under ultrasonic conditions. The current study provides new insights into the magnetic field effect on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of graphene-based photocatalysts.

    A novel rod-shape BaNiSn-Graphene oxide decorated TiO<inf>2</inf> composite (BaNiSn-GT) has been synthesized using a simple ultrasonic method to enhance the visible-light-driven H<inf>2</inf> evolution with cationic scavengers. The unique structure between the interfaces of BaNiSn-Graphene and TiO<inf>2</inf> provides graphene oxide of contact and excellent electron transfer for H<inf>2</inf> evolution activity. The BaNiSn-GT ternary photocatalyst exhibits relatively high photocatalytic activity with a hydrogen evolution rate of 1012 μmol/g during 4 h. On the other hand, BaNiSn-GT composite exhibited significantly higher hydrogen evolution rates of 870 μmol/g with TEA scavenger and 730 μmol/g with LA scavenger during 1 h, respectively. Moreover, the higher photocurrent density of BaNiSn-GT is correlated with electron–hole recombination, providing evidence for its inhibition, which leads to a longer lifetime of carriers produced by photoelectrons. The mechanism of the photocatalytic H<inf>2</inf> evolution of BaNiSn-GT based on a full physicochemical characterization was proposed. This study provides new insight into the efficient hydrogen-evolution of graphene-based photocatalysts.
