The visible light induced photocatalytic H 2 evolution from water with the help of photogenerated electrons in the TiN/red phosphorous (RP) nanocomposite is studied. The porous TiN nanotubes are obtained by nitridation (heat treatment under NH 3 flow) process on hydrothermal synthesized TiO 2 fibers. The RP is incorporated into the porous TiN nanotubes by heat treatment in the sealed ampules. The porous TiN nanotube provide an effective conducting channel for the photogenerated electrons, which is reflected in the enhanced photocatalytic H 2 evolution compared to the pristine RP.
