Sustainable hydrogen production by water splitting using nano ZrO2 and TiO2 photo-catalysts under gamma radiation with post-experiment photo-catalysts structural changes
摘要
The values of sustainable hydrogen production with nano-ZrO2 + H2Oads., nano-ZrO2 + H2Oliq. nano-TiO2 + H2Oads., and nano-TiO2 + H2Oliq. systems were 7.0 × 1017 at 80 min, 140.0 × 1017 at 60 min, 2.21 × 1016 at 8 h, 80.0 × 1016 at 6 h molecules/g. The values of W(H2) in these systems were 4.44 × 1013, 2.78 × 1014, 1.38 × 1013 and 4.2 × 1013 molecules, g−1∙s−1. The values of G(H2) were 2.14, 13.5, 0.16 and 0.48 molecules/100 eV. The nano-ZrO2 structure changed from monoclinic to triclinic while no change was reported in the nano-TiO2 structure. These studies are useful in producing hydrogen and structural changes.
