Investigating the performance of liquid and gas phase photoreactors for dynamic H2 production over bimetallic TiO2 and Ni2P dispersed MAX Ti3AlC2 monolithic nanocomposite under UV and visible light

Monolithic TiO2 and Ni2P dispersed 2D Ti3AlC2 MAX nanocomposite synthesized by sol-gel method, was investigated for stimulating photocatalytic H2 production. The performance was tested in three types of photoreactors including visible light irradiated slurry, visible and UV light irradiated fixed-bed and monolith photoreactors in batch and continuous operation. Using TiO2/Ni2P/Ti3AlC2 highest H2 production was achieved, which was 1.13, 3.25 and...
