Photocatalytic Water Decomposition and Water-Gas Shift Reactions over NaOH-Coated, Platinized TiO2.

Abstract

The photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous water takes place over platinized TiO2 coated with NaOH (more than 7 wt. %). The quantum efficiency of H2 and O2 production reaches about 7% (20 micromole H2/hr) at the beginning of the reaction but declines with accumulation of the products due to the thermal back reaction over Pt. The effect of the back reaction can be reduced by increasing the NaOH loading. (Author)
