Hydrogen Production by Photo-Induced Reforming of Biomass Components and Derivatives at Ambient Conditions

Hydrogen can be produced at ambient conditions via an efficient, technologically simple, ecologically benign, and potentially very low-cost process, with the use of a Pt/TiO 2 photocatalyst and three abundant and renewable sources: biomass, solar light, and water. The method combines photocatalytic...

Description
Summary:Hydrogen can be produced at ambient conditions via an efficient, technologically simple, ecologically benign, and potentially very low-cost process, with the use of a Pt/TiO 2 photocatalyst and three abundant and renewable sources: biomass, solar light, and water. The method combines photocatalytic splitting of water and light-induced oxidation of biomass compounds into a single process, able to produce hydrogen at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
