In this paper, we report our attempts to raise the efficiency of liquid reduction method when using high specific surface area TiO₂ (HSTiO₂) by doping Au. Characterization of Au-HSTiO₂ was conducted via XRD, UV-vis, SEM, and photocurrent intensity. The experimental results show that Au-HSTiO₂ exhibits prominently higher photocatalytic hydrogen production than TiO₂ and HSTiO₂. Enhanced photosynthetic hydrogen production ability of Au-HSTiO₂ should be attributed to the presence of abundant surface active sites of HSTiO₂, remarkably extending electronic holes in Au doping. This study provides a promising photosynthetic material for hydrogen production.
