A bismuth titanate with a pyrochlore structure Bi₂Ti₂O₇ was synthesized through a solvothermal route and tested in photooxidation and photoreforming of glycerol under UV and visible light. The titanate was characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy and UV/Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Dihydroxyacetone appears as the main product of the photooxidation tests with a 28.6 % of the initial glycerol in solution converted into this product under UV light. Photoreforming test for hydrogen production, also under UV light, was performed with platinized titanate with a rate of 0.69 μmol_H2min⁻¹.

通过溶剂热法合成了具有烧绿石结构的钛酸铋Bi ₂ Ti ₂ O ₇，并在紫外光和可见光下对甘油的光氧化和光重整进行了测试。通过X射线衍射、N ₂吸附-脱附等温线、透射电子显微镜和紫外/可见漫反射光谱对钛酸盐进行了表征。二羟基丙酮作为光氧化测试的主要产物出现，溶液中 28.6% 的初始甘油在紫外光下转化为该产物。同样在紫外光下，用铂化钛酸盐以0.69 μmol _H2 min ^-1的速率进行氢产生的光重整测试。
