Scientific paper

Hydrogen production in the light-mediated decomposition of water vapor in the presence of solid carbon is reported. Three mg of active carbon, together with 30 mg of TiO2 and 10 mg of RuO2 powder were illuminated in the presence of water vapor by a 500-W mercury lamp. Mass spectrometer analysis of the gas evolved reveals the production a nonflammable mixture of H2, CO2 and CO in the presence of the TiO2/RuO2 catalyst. Experiments with a regenerative TiO2/metal oxide catalyst at 80 C resulted in a greater yield of CO and CO2 than at 60 C, indicating the usefulness of a combination of solar light and thermal energy. The decomposition of water by solar energy in the presence of carbon is suggested as a means of coal gasification and hydrogen production.
