Hierarchical Nanostructures: Hierarchical Nanostructures: Design for Sustainable Water Splitting (Adv. Energy Mater. 23/2017)

In article number 1700559, Johnny C. Ho and co-workers present an overview of recent research advances in the development of hierarchical nanostructures and give valuable guidelines for the rational design of these materials for their applications in electrocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting systems, with special emphasis on demonstrating the mechanisms for the structured-related performance improvement.
