Photocatalytic production of hydrogen: an innovative use for biomass derivatives

Abstract: Hidrogênio é considerado o vetor energético do futuro por ser não poluente e muito flexível quanto à conversão a diferentes formas de energia, como calor por combustão ou energia elétrica via células a combustível. Tradicionalmente, o hidrogênio é produzido a partir da reforma a vapor de gás natural de origem fóssil, o que torna a implantação efetiva da economia de hidrogênio insustentável do ponto de vista ambiental. Para contornar esse problema, diversas rotas de produção de hidrogênio a partir de fontes ren… Show more

“…Thermodynamically, water splitting into H 2 and O 2 can be seen as an unfavorable reaction (G = +238 kJ/mol) (Jing et al, 2010;Melo & Silva, 2011). However, the efficiency of water splitting is determined by the band gap, band structure of the semiconductor and the electron transfer process (Linsebigler et al, 1995;Hagfeldt & Grätzel, 1995;Melo & Silva, 2011).…”

“…1000 nm), corresponding to the water splitting potential (Jing et al, 2010;Melo & Silva, 2011). Moreover CB and VB levels should satisfy the energy requirements set by the reduction and oxidation potentials for H 2 O, respectively: the bottom of the conduction band must be located at a more negative potential than the H + /H 2 reduction potential (Eo = 0 V vs. NHE at pH 0), while the top of the valence band must be more positively positioned than the H 2 O/O 2 oxidation potential (Eo = 1.23 V vs. NHE) (Melo & Silva, 2011). Band engineering is thus necessary for the design of new semiconductors with the combined properties (Jing et al, 2010).…”

“…The electrons "jump" to the conduction band where it can react subconsequently with molecules adsorbed on the catalyst surface. This last reaction should happen in less than (10-100) nano-seconds [12,13]. On the contrary, the recombination takes place, releasing energy in light or heat form [14].…”
