Quantum efficiency of Pd/TiO 2 catalyst for photocatalytic reforming of methanol in ultra violet region

The efficiency of Pd/TiO2 catalyst for photocatalytic reforming of methanol was investigated in ultra violet, UV region by monitoring the volume of H2 production and the number of incident photon using chemical actinometry method. 2-nitrobenzaldehyde solution was used to evaluate the number of incid...
