Abstract

Mild-mannered catalyst: A novel procedure to load a MoS ₂ co-catalyst onto the surface of silicon under mild-conditions (room temperature, atmospheric pressure, aqueous solution) by a photo-assisted electrodeposition process employing commercially available precursors is reported. The obtained Si-NW@MoS ₂ photocathode showed similar catalytic activity for light-driven H ₂ generation compared with a Si-NW@Pt photocathode (see scheme).
