Abstract A graphite oxide (GO) semiconductor photocatalyst with an apparent bandgap of 2.4–4.3 eV is synthesized by a modified Hummers' procedure. The as‐synthesized GO has interlayer spacing 0.42 nm because its moderate oxidation level. Under irradiation UV or visible light, this steadily catalyzes H 2 generation from 20 vol % aqueous methanol solution and pure water. As the sheets extensively disperse in water, cocatalyst not required for over photocatalyst. During photocatalytic reaction,...
