© 2018 Elsevier B.V. We have studied hydrogen gas production using photocatalysis from C2-C5 carbon chain polyols, cyclic alcohols and mono and di-saccharides using palladium nanoparticles supported on a TiO2catalyst. For many of the polyols the hydrogen evolution rate is found to be dictated by the...
