Hydrogen evolution from glycerol aqueous solution under aerobic conditions over Pt/TiO 2 and Au/TiO 2 granular photocatalysts

Hydrogen was efficiently evolved from glycerol aqueous solution upon vertical photoirradiation of a Pt/TiO or Au/TiO bed under aerobic conditions. Granular photocatalysts were easily deposited, leading to high H selectivity (80-95%), whereas glycerol oxidation with CO evolution became dominant when...

Summary:Hydrogen was efficiently evolved from glycerol aqueous solution upon vertical photoirradiation of a Pt/TiO or Au/TiO bed under aerobic conditions. Granular photocatalysts were easily deposited, leading to high H selectivity (80-95%), whereas glycerol oxidation with CO evolution became dominant when suspended powder photocatalysts were used.
