Photocatalytic reforming of glycerol for H 2 evolution on Pt/TiO 2 : fundamental understanding the effect of co-catalyst Pt and the Pt deposition route

The effects of deposited Pt and its deposition route on the photocatalytic reforming of glycerol for H 2 evolution over Pt/TiO 2 were investigated. Intimately loaded Pt(0) particles are the key active sites for the reaction, the formation of which was favored by an in situ photo-deposition route.
