Recent advances in syntheses, properties and applications of TiO2nanostructures

“…Photocatalytic water splitting was achieved at EDTA and Na 2 S utilization as the sacrificial reagents. Yatskiv et al 297 reported that the photocatalytic systems having mesoporous TiO 2 and Pd/SiO 2 , produced extra quantities of molecular hydrogen at keeping in dark after the ending of irradiation. Václav and Daniela 298 prepared TiO 2 /ZnS/CdS composites by homogeneous hydrolysis of aqueous solutions mixture of TiO 2 SO 4 , ZnSO 4 , and CdSO 4 with thioacetamide for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water.…”

Semiconductor photocatalytic systems for the production of hydrogen by the action of visible light

“…Heterostructures consisting of a semiconductor (CdS), conducting organic polymers, and various types of sensitizers that had proved much more effective catalysts than cadmium sulfide for the release of hydrogen during the action of visible light were constructed for the first time [13,17,19]. Photocatalytic processes for the production of hydrogen involving metal sulfide microhetero transitions [8,10,12,16,19], photocatalysts based on mesoporous titanium dioxide [20,21,24,25,27], nanostructured semiconductors, etc. [14,15,18,19,22,23,26,28] were also investigated.…”
