ABSTRACT:
Processes for producing hydrogen gas from water using gamma-rays, X-rays or ultraviolet radiation as the energy source, and aqueous compositions used in said processes. Said aqueous composition comprises at least one photoexcitable reagent which absorbs light to donate an electron and produce hydrogen. The composition also contains at least one reagent selected from the group consisting of chain reaction agents which are free radical formers, and spectral sensitizers, and preferably at least one reagent of each of these two types. The composition also preferably contains a dispersing agent.
