Abstract
active sites), while Pd cocatalysts reduce the back reactions (higher charge transportation) by forming Schottky junctions. Various factors like pH, temperature, intensity of light and catalyst dose are evaluated and discussed. Based on the results and activities, it has been concluded that the described approach shows potential to replace fossil fuels.
