Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production using suspended photo catalysts were studied. TiO2 anatase in a powder form was used as photo catalyst. Our investigation aims to wards the creation of improved photo catalysts to be used in the production of hydrogen from water or aqueous solutions of organic compounds. TiO2 anatase in a powder form was used originally as photo catalyst. It was found that the photocatalytic activity depends significantly on catalyst type and its modification such as loading with various transition metal oxides. Carbon nanotube-anatase titanium dioxide (CNT-TiO2) composite systems are currently being considered for many applications including their potential use to address environmental problems..
