METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN

摘要

A method for production of hydrogen. In the method, an aqueous solution of a chalcogenoxanthylium compound, a catalyst and sacrificial electron donor are exposed to electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of from 400 nm to 850 nm. Exposure of the aqueous solution to the electromagnetic radiation results in production of hydrogen. Such a method can be used, for example, in dye-sensitized solar cell.
