Photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide enhanced by carbon nanotubes
Researchers have shown that under UV-irradiation, the addition of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to TiO2 induces a substantial synergy effect. Deposition of TiO2 on SWNTs surface may give better results for H2 generation.The photocatalytic H2 gas production from water/alcohol mixtures, was investigated. The amount of H2 gas increased by a factor of ca. 400 simply due to mixing SWCNTs with TiO2.
