Description

Photocatalytic hydrogen production under solar light irradiation is an attractive technology to receive green and renewable fuel and thanks to natural resource usage and zero CO2 emission is among different technologies the greenest process. As a promising photocatalyst for hydrogen production TiO2 have been commonly used due to its special physicochemical properties. However, its wide bandgap energy, which can be only activated under UV-light and fast charge carrier recombination restricts its applications.   
The initiative is based on the idea of the improvement of the visible light response
