The role of hole localization in sacrificial hydrogen production by semiconductor–metal heterostructured nanocrystals

The effect of hole localization on photocatalytic activity of Pt-tipped semiconductor nanocrystals is investigated. By tuning the energy balance at the semiconductor–ligand interface, we demonstrate that hydrogen production on Pt sites is efficient only when electron-donating molecules are used for...
