  Abstract: Hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 nanorods were subjected to calcination from 350 to 550 °C and tested their catalytic performance for hydrogen (H2) production in aqueous glycerol solution under solar irradiation. High rate of H2 evolution ca.300 µmol.h−1.g−1cat was recorded with TiO2 nanorods calcined at 500 °C. The nanocomposites were prepared by varying Cu-loading 0.1 to 2.0 wt% and activated at 350 or 500 °C. About 25 folds enhancement in H2 production …
