Abstract

Photocatalytic hydrogen production from water using Ti02 as photocatalyst is one
of the most promising method to produce hydrogen due to its low cost and
environmental friendly process. However, it lacks the efficiency which is required in
order to be economically feasible. This study is focused on enhancing the activity of
Ti02 to utilize visible light by Cu-Ni incorporation onto its surface, and also
improving the overall photocatalytic hydrogen production by the addition of
sacrificial agent. The incorporation of Cu-Ni onto Ti02 was achieved by employing
precipitation method and parameters such as calcination temperature and duration,
