Synergism between two polymorphs of TiO₂ anatase and rutile was studied for photocatalytic water splitting. TiO₂ anatase were partially transformed to rutile by annealing. Synergism was observed for hydrogen production rates per unit area for anatase 15-20nm (while no synergism seen in the case of the bigger crystallite size) 100nm.
