Abstract

We report on the first use of nanostructured δ-FeOOH as a promising photocatalyst for hydrogen production. The high surface area, interparticle mesoporosity, small particle size and band gap energy in the visible region make nanostructured δ-FeOOH a suitable candidate for use as a photocatalyst.
