Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water by the anatase prepared on resorcinol-formaldehyde resin sphere

Room temperature crystallization of anatase on the spherical particles of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin with the average diameter of 766 nm was examined by the reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide with the spherical particles and the subsequent exposure to the hydrochloric acid vapor. The resulting anatase-resin hybrid particle was shown to be photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from aqueous methanol.

Automated summary

This study examines the room temperature crystallization of anatase on spherical particles of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin and demonstrates its application as a photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution.
