Abstract

The need for replacing fossil fuels by renewable energy sources has been growing over the last years due to the increasing demand for energy worldwide and environmental issues. One of the main compounds studied for future application as fuel is hydrogen gas (H₂). Extensive research has been performed on H₂ production via water splitting using solar light since Honda and Fujishima report in 1972. One of the most utilized materials for water splitting applications is titanium dioxide (TiO₂). TiO₂ is abundant, inexpensive, non-corrosive, stable and environment-friendly. However, its large band gap and rapid electron-hole recombination hinders the hydrogen production efficiency. In order to improve the efficiency in photoconversion, TiO₂ has been modified with several materials, including carbon nanotubes (CNT). A variety of different structural forms of CNT/TiO₂ composites have been studied. In this chapter, we review morphologies and methods of synthesis of CNT/TiO₂ nanocomposites, parameters employed at electrochemical tests and results of H₂ evolution.
