Abstract

Titania nanocrystalline films have been deposited on glass slides and loaded with Pt nanoparticles by adsorption from aqueous solutions of sodium tetrachloroplatinate followed by UVA radiation or heat treatment. These metal/semiconductor combined photocatalysts have been used for photooxidation of aqueous ethanol and production of hydrogen. The efficiency of the photocatalytic process was associated with the metal load on the titania films and the size of the metal nanoparticles. Characterization of the combined photocatalyst has been made by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
