Mesoporous titanium dioxide (m-TiO₂) was synthesized by using Titanium tetraisopropanolate (TTIP) as the raw material and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template via sol-gel method. The effects of the synthesis temperature, the amount of H₂O and template in the initial gel, as well as the calcination temperature on the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of m-TiO₂ were investigated. The results show that the structure of the m-TiO₂ sample transferred from amorphous to anatase phase after calcined under 350℃ for 3 h. The crystallinity of the anatase phase increased with calcination temperature increasing and most of the anatase phase transferred to rutile phase after calcined above 550℃. The sample which synthesized at 30℃, with n_CTAB/n_TiO₂=0.2 and n_H₂O/n_TiO₂=100, then calcined at 450℃ showed excellent photocatalytic activity of splitting water under UV irradiation. When the amount of catalyst was 0.4 g·L^-1 and the methanol concentration was 20%(V/V), the hydrogen production rate of m-TiO₂ reached as high as 170 mmol·g^-1·h^-1. A series of rGO/m-TiO₂ samples with different amount of rGO were synthesized by using hydrothermal method. When w_GO/w_TiO₂ was 0.01, the hydrogen production rate of the sample was 241 mmol·g^-1·h^-1 under UV light irradiation, and the energy conversion efficiency reached 7.4%, 42.3% higher than that of m-TiO₂. Under visible light irradiation, its hydrogen production rate reached 9 mmmol·g^-1·h^-1.
