Abstract

Hydrogen was efficiently evolved from glycerol aqueous solution upon vertical photoirradiation of a Pt/TiO₂ or Au/TiO₂ bed under aerobic conditions. Granular photocatalysts were easily deposited, leading to high H₂ selectivity (80–95%), whereas glycerol oxidation with CO₂ evolution became dominant when suspended powder photocatalysts were used.
