We present high-yield hydrogen production through selective photocatalytic decomposition of formic acid by using electrospun TiO2 nanofibers decorated with AuPd bimetallic alloy nanoparticles under simulated sunlight irradiation. By using only 5 mg of the AuPd/TiO2 nanofibers containing the 0.75% Au...
