TL;DR: In this article, the photocatalytic activity of gold-supported TiO2 catalysts was evaluated in the gas phase while using H2O as electron donor and UV and visible light as energy sources.

TL;DR: Both catalysts exhibit interesting intrinsic activities, with the tantalate material giving rise to a slightly higher performance, attributed to a compromise situation between electron-hole recombination and the reducing potential of conduction band electrons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silver on the catalytic activity of Ag/TiO 2 and Ag/ZnO systems for the CO 2 photoreduction using water vapour as electron donor has been investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a perovskite type RE-doped NaTaO3 (where RE represents Rare Earths elements like Y, La, Ce, Yb) catalysts, derived from solid state synthesis method, have been used for the photocatalytic hydrogen production from water using methanol as sacrificial agent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical properties of the catalysts precursors vary with the precipitating agent, which shows a significant influence in their catalytic performance, and it is worth mentioning that the catalyst prepared using Na2CO3 shows significant activity in this reaction even at temperatures as low as 400°C.
