Effect of sodium doping in NiO/Vermiculite composite on photocatalytic hydrogen production from methanol-water decomposition by Bartosz Zawadzki, Marta Valaskova, Alexandr Martaus, Jiri Pavlovsky, Kamila Koci

“…Photocatalytic tests demonstrated that sodium doping enhances the stability and activity of the photocatalysts by reducing electron-hole recombination rates, with NaOH proving to be a more effective sodium source than NaNO3. Among the samples, those synthesized via capillary impregnation (NiO(OH)/Vm-C) and dry synthesis (NiO(OH)/Vm-M) showed the highest hydrogen yields (550 and 540 μmol/g cat., respectively) due to optimal crystallite size (∼22–23 nm) and defect-induced charge transfer efficiency. …”
