Titanium molybdate was prepared from solution phase. lts chemical composition was determined by estimating the metal contents. Tile material was characterised by X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The phototoelectrochemical properties of titanium molybdate are reported. The flat-band potential Is located at - 0.53 V vs SCE. The conversion efficiency was found to be 0.04%.
