Hydrogen production from solar driven glucose oxidation over Ni(OH)(2) functionalized electroreduced-TiO2 nanowire arrays

Herein, we demonstrated that solar driven glucose oxidation to produce hydrogen has been achieved on a functionalized TiO2 nanowire arrays photoanode without expensive metal catalyst loading. The Ni(OH)(2) functionalized the electro-reduced TiO2 NWAs photoanode exhibits a much lower onset potential, substantially higher oxidation current density and good stability for glucose oxidation.
