Proflavine-sensitized photoproduction of H2 from water with electron-donors and a colloidal redox catalyst
Abstract
Efficient photoproduction of H2 from water in the presence of electron donors such as ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid or triethanolamine and a colloidal Pt-redox catalyst, sensitized by proflavine, is reported; this is a two-component redox system for H2 production as against the common three-component systems with an electron acceptor.
