Abstract Au nanoparticles deposited α-Fe2O3 (Au@α-Fe2O3) nanorods with a well-defined structure were fabricated by the hydrothermal method and the magnetron sputtering method. The deposition contents and morphology of Au nanoparticles were regulated by the magnetron sputtering time and the heat treatment temperature, respectively. After deposited 5.1% Au, Au@α-Fe2O3 nanorods show a new absorption peak at 550 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum as the results of the surface plasmon resonances (SPR) of Au nanoparticles, and their bandgap narrows from 2.20 to 1.95 eV. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity and electrochemical impedance of Au@α-Fe2O3 nanorods decrease significantly, while the photocurrent increases from 0.27 to 0.45 μA·cm-2. Au nanoparticles extend the visible-light absorption performance and inhibit the recombination of electron-hole pairs of Au@α-Fe2O3 nanorods. The photocatalytic property of Au@α-Fe2O3 nanorods becomes more stable, and the photocatalytic efficiency of Au@α-Fe2O3 nanorods is about 1 time higher than that of α-Fe2O3 nanorods.
