Efficient H2 production by photocatalytic water splitting under UV or solar light over variously modified TiO2-based catalysts
2019
Abstract This paper focused for the first time on the comparison between three different approach to modify the chemico-physical properties of TiO2-based photocatalysts and their effect in the H2 production by photocatalytic water splitting both under UV and solar light irradiation, under the same experimental conditions. The application of pulsed laser irradiation to aqueous TiO2 suspensions (first approach) induced structural transformations both on the bulk and on the surface of TiO2, boosting the H2 production, under UV light irradiation, of almost three times (20.9 mmol/gcat·h) compared to bare TiO2 (7.7 mmol/gcat·h). The second strategy was based on a templating method to obtain TiO2 …
Inverse opal TiO2 as visible-light driven photocatalysts
2017
Semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted a great deal of attention due to their potential application in environmental remediation. Titanium dioxide has been extensively investigated as the most promising photocatalyst. To improve the optical response of TiO2 in the visible region, Inverse Opal TiO2 has been recognized as an efficient photocatalyst due to its unique properties in terms of uniformly ordered and interconnected macroporous architecture.
