Titanium dioxide (TiO) is one of the most widely used photocatalysts due to its physical and chemical properties. In this study, hydrogen energy production using TiO- and titanate-based photocatalysts is discussed along with the pros and cons. The mechanism of the photocatalysis has been elaborated to pinpoint the photocatalyst for better performance. The chief characteristics and limitations of the TiO photocatalysts have been assessed. Further, TiO-based photocatalysts modified with a transition metal, transition metal oxide, noble metal, graphitic carbon nitride, graphene, etc. have been reviewed. This study will provide a basic understanding to beginners and detailed knowledge to experts in the field to optimize the TiO-based photocatalysts for hydrogen production.
二氧化钛（TiO₂）因其物理和化学性质，是应用最为广泛的光催化剂之一。在本研究中，我们讨论了使用TiO₂和钛酸盐基光催化剂生产氢能的优缺点。详细阐述了光催化机理，以确定性能更优的光催化剂。评估了TiO₂光催化剂的主要特性和局限性。此外，还综述了用过渡金属、过渡金属氧化物、贵金属、石墨相氮化碳、石墨烯等修饰的TiO₂基光催化剂。本研究将为该领域的初学者提供基本的理解，并为专家提供详细的知识，以优化用于制氢的TiO₂基光催化剂。
