The preparation temperature of lepidocrocite-type layered potassium lithium titanate with the formula K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4was optimized for photocatalytic H2production. K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4was prepared by solid-state reactions at varied temperatures (600–1000 °C) and subsequently treated with dilute HCl to obtain its protonated form. Depending on the preparation temperature, the particle size and crystallinity of K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4varied, and the photocatalytic activity of the protonated forms of K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4for H2production from aqueous methanol solution was correlated with the preparation temperature. K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4nanoparticles prepared at 700 °C with a particle size estimated to be within the range of ca. 100–300 nm gave the largest amount of H2, equivalent up to 42 times higher than that given by K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4prepared at commonly reported temperatures (≥800 °C). This finding reinforces the importance of preparation temperature to full utilization of the capabilities of nanomaterials derived from ceramic processes.
