'Nanoreactors' for photocatalytic H2 evolution in oil-water biphase systems

Optimization of reaction systems plays a key role in preventing the backward reaction of water splitting. 'Nanoreactors' are formed with nanoporous photocatalyst in a facile H-2 production system, hexane-water biphase system. The rate of H-2 evolution could reach 63.37 mmol h(-1) g(-1) in the biphase system (40% higher than that in the single phase system).
