<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We have systematically prepared three kinds of photosensitizing (PS) double layers on the surface of Pt-cocatalyst-loaded TiO2 (Pt-TiO2) nanoparticles by using four different phosphonate-functionalized Ru(II) polypyridine photosensitizers (Ru) and Zr4+ cation linkers to improve the photo-induced separation efficiency at the double-PS-layer and semiconductor interface. All three nanoparticles with double-PS-layer structure (Ru-Zr-Ru@Pt-TiO2) exhibited remarkably higher photocatalytic H2 evolution activity than that of single-PS-layer nanoparticles, Ru@Pt-TiO2 in low sacrificial electron donating (SED) l-ascorbic acid solution. The fine-tuning of emission energy of Ru(II) PS dye at the outer surface of Ru-Zr-Ru@Pt-TiO2 nanoparticle revealed that photoexcitation energy transfer from outer to inner Ru(II) PS dyes give a positive effect on the photocatalytic activity especially in the low SED concentration.</jats:p>
