Nobel metals free MW/SW supported TiO2 nanocatalysts were prepared via wet impregnation assisted sol-gel method and tested for photocatalytic H2 evolution. The photoactivity of TiO2 mediated by MW/SW was considerably improved due to superior charges separation. More importantly, hydrogen production...
