To achieve the targeted visible light hydrogen production and improve the charge carrier utilization, bandgap engineering and surface modification of the photocatalyst play a vital role. In this talk, I will present the synthesis of Cu-TiO2/CuO nanocomposite photocatalyst using green surfactant-aided method and the structural and surface modification by pretreatment. The effects of structure and electronic features of surface Cu species on the photocatalytic H2 production will be discussed.
