Abstract

An attempt is made to prepare Pt/Bi2O3/RuO2 (PhC) catalyst and to use it for photocatalytic production of hydrogen from water in the presence of: (i) methyl viologen (MV 2+) as an electron relay, (ii) Ru(bpy)23+ as a photosensitizer, or (iii) both (i) and (ii) with visible light of 2 >1 400 nm. Compared to the undoped 7-Bi2Oa, the above catalyst is more efficient in hydrogen production. The efficiencies of the different systems constituted by the catalyst with MV 2+ or Ru(bbpy)23+ or both, m. hydrogen producti' on are in the order PhC-MV 2 + < PhC-Ru(bpy)] ÷ < PhC-MV 2 ÷-Ru(bpy)za +.
