Abstract

Herein, we demonstrated that solar driven glucose oxidation to produce hydrogen has been achieved on a functionalized TiO₂ nanowire arrays photoanode without expensive metal catalyst loading. The Ni(OH)₂ functionalized the electro-reduced TiO₂ NWAs photoanode exhibits a much lower onset potential, substantially higher oxidation current density and good stability for glucose oxidation.
