Abstract

Surface activation of photocatalysts is central to H₂ production from water via solar photocatalysis. In article number 1500153, M. Liu, L. Guo, and co-workers show, using shaped Cu₂WS₄ as model host photocatalyst, that a large percentage of the surface of the photocatalyst can be activated for H₂ evolution by controllably depositing metal nanoparticles with tunable sizes onto targeted crystal facets.
