Visible Light Production of Hydrogen by Ablated Graphene: Water Splitting or Carbon Gasification?

Fasciani, Chiara; Lanterna, Anabel E.; Giorgi, Javier B.; Scaiano, Juan C.

Abstract

Reduced graphene oxide modified by pulsed laser ablation causes water splitting under visible light illumination (532 nm). When the light source is a pulsed laser, water splitting is accompanied by carbon gasification (CO formation); however, conventional (LED) light sources produce water splitting exclusively.
