The role of photoinduced defects in TiO2 and its effects on hydrogen evolution from aqueous methanol solution.

The hydrogen evolution from aqueous methanol solutions was found to follow two stages of zero order kinetics during photoreactions using TiO 2 as the photocatalyst. Maximal hydrogen evolution was found at the 10% (v/v) methanol solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that Ti(1566) def...
