Abstract

Generation from H₂ via photocatalytic decomposition of water has attracted much attention from the viewpoint of conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels. The photodecomposition of water catalyzed by Zr- and Ti-MCM-41 was studied. As the photocatalytic time increased under UV irradiation, the H₂ yields increased. The H₂ yield on Zr-MCM-41 was ∼ 7 mmole H₂/hr-ZrO₂. The enhancement of Zr-MCM-41 was over 80 times if compared to the bulk ZrO₂. The Ti-MCM-41 also possessed an enhancement of ∼ 77 times for the H₂ yield (over TiO₂). Thus, the photodecomposition of H₂O was enhanced by the Zr and Ti in the framework of MCM-41.
