ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Pt-N/TiO2 photocatalysts were synthetized by the alkaline hydrothermal method. Physico-chemical properties of the photocatalysts were obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Activity of the Pt-N/TiO2 photocatalyst towards hydrogen production was studied in reactions of water splitting and photoreforming of different alcohols. The effect of alcohol structure and the nature of photodecomposition intermediates on hydrogen production rate was discussed. Obtained results highlighted the role of sacrificial agents in photocatalytic hydrogen production.
