title = "Impact of Cu oxidation state on photocatalytic H2 production by Cu/TiO2",
abstract = "This work focuses on the influence of Cu oxidation state on photocatalytic hydrogen generation by Cu/TiO2•Hydrogen reduction was used to tailor the Cu oxidation state on the TiO2•Cu+ and/or Cu0 appeared to be the more favourable oxidation state for generating H2•Cu2+ initially present on the TiO2 was reduced to Cu+ and/or Cu0 during the photocatalytic process. Cu deposits on reduced Cu/TiO2 catalysts were observed to be metallic Cu with a thin shell of CuO and its activity was greater than both bare TiO2 and air-calcined Cu/TiO2•This enhancement could be attributed to metallic copper and improved Cu crystallinity.",
