Abstract

The irradiation of diacetyl (λ≥385nm) in the presence of the methylviologen ion (MV2+), colloidal platinum catalyst, and sacrificial electron donors yields hydrogen. Such electron donors include EDTA, formaldehyde, some ethanolamines and trialkylamines. The highest hydrogen amounts are achieved with EDTA, followed by formaldehyde and triethanolamine. No hydrogen was obtained with trimethylamine as electron donor.
