Nowadays, the most ideal process for hydrogen production is to use water as a hydrogen source through water splitting reaction with the present of the titanium dioxide photocatalysts. Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2-NT’s) was synthesized using facile hydrothermal method. TEM micrograph shows that the synthesized TiO2-NT’s had tubular structure with “hair-like” nanoscopic filaments with large specific surface area, which is needed to be a high performance photocatalyst. The saiz of nanotube are 4 nm and 10 nm for inner and outer diameters, respectively. Meanwhile, their surface area was found to be 226.52 m2/g. XRD pattern revealed that the phase structure of synthesized TiO2-NT’s was anatase TiO2. Synthesized TiO2-NT’s was tested for hydrogen gas production managed to produce 80 µmol after 5 hours reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
