Effect of water

Caption

Fig. 1. (a) Methane conversion rates and (b) hydrogen formation rates on the Pt/Ga2O3 photocatalysts under ultraviolet irradiation at a methane partial pressure of 70 kPa and water partial pressures of 0 and 2 kPa at a sample temperature of 318 K. The presence of interfacial water significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity at ambient temperatures and pressures.
