Hydrogen (H2) production from photocatalytic reforming of cellulose is a promising way for sustainable H2 to be generated. Herein, we report a systematic study of the photocatalytic reforming of cellulose over Pt/m-TiO2 (i.e. mixed TiO2, 80% of anatase and 20% of rutile) catalysts in water. The optimum operation condition was established by studying the effect of Pt loading, catalyst concentration, cellulose concentration and reaction tem-perature on the gas production rate of H2 (rH2) and CO2 (rCO2), suggesting an optimum operation condition at 40 ℃ with 1.0 g·L-1 of cellulose and 0.75 g·L-1 of 0.16-Pt/m-TiO2 catalyst (with 0.16 wt%Pt loadting) to achieve a relatively sound photocatalytic performance with rH2=9.95μmol·h-1. It is also shown that although the photoreforming of cellulose was operated at a relatively mild condition (i.e. with an UV-A lamp irradiation at 40 ℃ in the aqueous system), a low loading of Pt at~0.16 wt%on m-TiO2 could promote the H2 production effec-tively. Additionally, by comparing the reaction order expressed from both rH2 (a1) and rCO2 (a2) with respect to cellulose and water, the possible mechanism of H2 production was proposed.
