Phototransformations of TiO<sub>2</sub>/Ag<sub>2</sub>O composites and their influence on photocatalytic water splitting accompanied by methanol photoreforming
Anna Jakimińska, Kaja Spilarewicz, Wojciech Macyk
Abstract
Ag 2 O does not create an effective p–n junction with TiO 2 but is phototransformed into silver nanoparticles during the photocatalytic process. The resulting nanoparticles increase the photoactivity of the system in hydrogen evolution.
