Abstract

This article focuses on the modification of titanium oxide (TiO₂) using metal doping to improve its photocatalytic activity in photochemical water splitting systems. TiO₂ is a widely used photocatalyst, which has a wide band gap energy and rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thus reducing the efficiency of photochemical water splitting systems. Metal doping, such as Pt, Cu, Fe, and V metals can lower the band gap energy of the photocatalyst, increase the absorption of visible light, and reduce electron-hole recombination. Modified TiO₂ shows promising results in photochemical water splitting, utilising a wider range of visible light from the solar spectrum thereby improving the efficiency of the photochemical water splitting system.
