Keywords:radiolysis, interface, metal oxide, adsorbed water, γ-rays, pulse radiolysis

The rate of water decomposition under irradiation in the presence of metal oxides was studied by γ-irradiation followed by measurement of H₂ production, as well as by pulse radiolysis in order to understand the influence of the water/metal oxide interface which is not currently understood.
