Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production: Nonepitaxial Gold‐Tipped ZnSe Hybrid Nanorods for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production (small 12/2020)

A type of heavy-metal-free metal-semiconductor Au-ZnSe hybrid nanorod is reported by Shaobin Wang, Yunguo Li, Guohua Jia, and co-workers in article number 1902231. Au particles grow nonepitaxially on the end facets of wurtzite ZnSe nanorods producing Au-tipped ZnSe hybrid nanorods, which can be used as non-toxic and eco-friendly catalysts for hydrogen production through water splitting.
