摘要

Solar light induced interfacial charge transfer of electrons from TiO2 to CuO in a water-glycerol mixture produced 99823 lmol h(-1) g(-1) catalyst of hydrogen gas. The dispersed CuO/TiO2 photocatalyst in solution exhibited uni-directional electron flow and capture at the Schottky barrier facilitating charge separation and electron transfer resulting in enhanced H-2 production performance.
