Abstract

TiO₂/TiN core/shell NBs are successfully synthesized, and used as highly efficient photocatalytic H₂ evolution catalysts (120 μmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹) from methanol solution. The TiN shell plays dual roles by extending the light absorption range and also promoting the separation/transfer of photoexcited charge carriers as an electron collector.
