Recently, great attention has been focused on hydrogen as a potential energy vector and on
the use of water-splitting technology as a clean and renewable means to generate hydrogen …

Global energy problems of the 21st century have led to the search for alternative energy
sources, among which is hydrogen produced via photoelectrochemical solar water splitting …

A series of mesoporous TiO 2 (meso-TiO 2) were synthesized using the sol-gel technique. A
Pluronic F127 triblock-copolymer, a structure-directing agent, was incorporated as a soft …

As an energy carrier, hydrogen has been extensively studied to satisfy the increasing
demand on green energy. Efficiently producing hydrogen from water under sunlight is one of …

CdS crystals with different morphologies, nanorods, sheets, microspheres and irregular
particles have been obtained by changing the solvothermal solvent (ethylenediamine …

Flower-like hollow microspheres were synthesized on a large scale using a one-step
hydrothermal route. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction …

Interfacial electron transfer at semiconductor nanoparticles is a fundamental process that is
relevant to many applications in photocatalysis such as wastewater cleaning, air cleaning …

TiO2–ZnO mixed oxides (1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 wt.% Zn) photoconductors were prepared by
the sol–gel method and used for the H2 production from water splitting. The solids were …

Hydrogen (H2) generation through photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a
promising approach to reducing energy crises and associated environmental problems …

TiO2-based photocatalyst materials were synthesized through a sol–gel method, followed
either by:(1) hydrothermal treatment (150° C/24 h), or (2) heat treatment (calcination) in a …
