Abstract

The modulation of TiO₂ structure can effectively alter the oxidation kinetics and pathway of sacrificial ethanol during the water-splitting reaction and dramatically adjust the selectivity of the valuable coupling product 2,3-butanediol from 0.0% to 96.6%, showing the possibility of photohydrogen production in green and economical indexes.
