MoS2@N-doped graphitic carbon/TiO2 photocatalysts for photocatalytic H2 production from lignocellulosic biomass

Abstract

TiO₂ nanoparticles grown on MoS₂/N-doped graphitic carbon were demonstrated to be efficient noble-metal-free photocatalysts for H₂ production from lignocellulosic biomass, and the H₂ generation rate from wheat straw, corncob, polar wood chip, bamboo, rice hull, corn straw and rice straw aqueous solution respectively reaches 4.9, 6.7, 11.7, 14.5, 8.4, 7.3 and 6.2 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹.
