2D co-catalyst leads the charge in efficient photocatalytic water splitting

Engineering photocatalysts to harness vast sunlight and split water into hydrogen and commodity chemicals is crucial for artificial photosynthesis. Recently, in Advanced Energy Materials, Vignolo-González et al. demonstrated a new hybrid photocatalyst through morphology engineering: a 0D light harvester combined with a 2D co-catalyst to enhance the efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting.
