CuO - TiO2 NANOCOMPOSITE PHOTOCATALYST FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION, PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

The present investigation is development of the TiO₂ nanotubes concept of preparation of and their composite with fine dispersion of copper. The inventions also relates to identify a method for optimum amount of photocatalyst required for efficient and maximum hydrogen production reported than earlier (H₂=99,823 μmol·h⁻¹·g⁻¹ catalyst) from glycerol-water mixtures under solar light irradiation. A method is disclosed to produce CuO/TiO₂ nanotubes with high sustainability and recyclable activity for hydrogen production.
