Hydrogen evolution from glycerol aqueous solution under aerobic conditions over Pt/TiO2and Au/TiO2granular photocatalysts.
Hydrogen was efficiently evolved from glycerol aqueous solution upon vertical photoirradiation of a Pt/TiO2or Au/TiO2bed under aerobic conditions. Granular photocatalysts were easily deposited, leading to high H2selectivity (80-95%), whereas glycerol oxidation with CO2evolution became dominant when suspended powder photocatalysts were used.
