Ternary Ho³⁺-TiO₂/Bi plasmonic composite fibers were prepared via hydrothermal method employing electrospun Ho³⁺-TiO₂ nanofibers as the substrate. The composition, morphology and photoelectric properties of the composite fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectrum (UV-Vis DRS) and instantaneous photocurrent. The photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen evolution was investigated over Ho³⁺-TiO₂/Bi plasmonic composite fibers with triethanolamine as the donor residue. The results showed that Bi nanoparticles formed via reduction of Bi³⁺ by sodium gluconate during hydrothermal process, meanwhile the heterojunction grew on the Ho³⁺-TiO₂ nanofibers surface. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the Ho³⁺-TiO₂/Bi plasmonic composites fibers can be further improved, which was mainly attributed to the formation of high-quality heterojunctions between Bi and rare earth Ho³⁺ doped titanium dioxide. Modification of TiO₂ nanofibers effectively improved the photocatalytic activity and stability of the samples under visible light. The highest hydrogen production rate was 43.6 μmol/(g·h).
