we are doing photocatalytic water splitting using TiO2 base composites. In our system we measure H2 through intelligent analyzer and cannot measure O2. Also we collect the samples in gas bag for 1 h and than do analysis, I want to know from photocatalysis community how to study kinetics of photocatalytic water splitting?
Thanks and regards
Water splitting means the formation of H2 and O2 with 2:1 ratio. If you unable to measure O2, you can't study water splitting reaction. I doubt that you are really dealing with water splitting
@ Dr Geletii,
Sir your point is valid that without measuring O2 there is surity of water splitting, but due to limitations of available resources we are unable to measure O2.
Can you guide us to study kinetics with in the limitation of our setup (mentioned in question)?
We would be very thankful for your cooperation
Regards
If you are not able to confirm the formation of both H2 and O2, don't claim you have water splitting. I can't guide you without knowing all details. In general, the goals of your project should be limited by your resources. Otherwise, collaborate with someone who can do the key measurements for you.
