Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Production Using Visible Light

Raj Kumar Arya

Abstract


This work involves development of coaxial tubular annular photoelectrochemical reactor for hydrogen production from treatment of industrial sulfide effluent. The use of SnS as photocatalyst in a slurry reactor has been investigated. Effects of concentrations of sodium sulfide and sulfite and photocatalyst(SnS) loading on hydrogen production have been studied.

Keywords
