Description:
All-in-one visible-light-driven water splitting by combining nanoparticulate and molecular co-catalysts on CdS nanorods All-in-one visible-light-driven water splitting by combining nanoparticulate and molecular co-catalysts on CdS nanorods, Published online: 03 September 2018; doi:10.1038/s41560-018-0229-6 While the two individual half-reactions involved in visible-light-driven water splitting are well studied, producing H2 and O2 simultaneously on a single particle remains challenging. Here, the authors achieve this by decorating CdS nanorods with both Pt nanoparticles and molecular Ru complexes to catalyse the evolution of H2 and O2, respectively.
