The objective of this project is to develop mixed metal-oxide narrow band-gap semiconductor nanoparticles with optimized redox potentials to produce hydrogen efficiently via photocatalysis using visible light. Acetylene flame spray synthesis is a new method for nanoparticle and nanocomposite production from affordable inorganic precursor solutions with high crystallinity. Such particles are of high relevance for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytical (PEC, PC) applications.
