Abstract: | In situ reduction of previously adsorbed Pt4+ species on TiO2 (anatase) was employed to obtain highly active catalysts for hydrogen photoevolution from a methanol-water solution. A quantum yield as high as 22% was observed. Optimum platinum coverage and the most favourable reaction conditions were established. The influence of surface Cr2O3 admixtures on photoactivity of TiO2 was investigated. It was found that although the dopant shifts the anatase spectrum into the visible, it was not possible to obtain hydrogen with light of energy smaller than the bandgap of TiO2. However, a small amount of Cr2O3 on the TiO2 surface acts as a poor catalyst for hydrogen evolution. |
