Photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor system

In the present study, an attempt is to manufacture eco-friendly, cost effective, and user-friendly hydrogen production setup. When this setup is tested using Zinc Indium Sulfide (ZIS) nanostructures using sacrificial reagent, reports 3013.2 µmol/h/g hydrogen under UV lamp irradiation which is almost four folds more than the ZIS catalyst. During the photocatalytic reaction benzyl alcohol scavenge the photo-generated holes (·OH) and avoid the charge recombination. It is found only that H + ions getting in contact with the photo-generated electrons reflects the enhancement of photocatalytic hydrogen generation. Graphical abstract
