ABSTRACT: The SPECTRUM project aims to design, develop, prototype, and test lab-scale solar collectors that effectively utilize the entire solar spectrum to cogenerate heat, electricity and hydrogen using industrial wastewater. This report presents the results of the activities developed in Task 1.2 Development of nanostructured low cost and sustainable photocatalysts of SPECTRUM’s Work Package 1, Optimization of the photocatalytic process of wastewater treatment and hydrogen generation. One of the Specific Objectives (SO1) of the SPECTRUM project is to develop low cost and sustainable nanostructured photocatalysts for synergetic pollutants degradation and H2 generation. With this goal, nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalysts were developed using copper as an efficient and economical co-catalyst, suitable for large-scale hydrogen production systems. Two series of copper-decorated TiO2 photocatalysts were synthesized, one based on TiO2 nanoparticles (NP) (Series I) and another based on TiO2 nanotubes (NT) (Series II).
