Non-precious co-catalysts boost the performance of TiO2 hierarchical hollow mesoporous spheres in solar fuel cells

A main challenge hindering the development of efficient solar fuel cell systems is the identification of robust, cost-effective, and abundant catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate the ability to synthesize photoactive, relatively cheap and abundant catalyst for the solar-assisted water splitting. The proposed catalyst is a composite of CoCu/graphene immobilized on hierarchical hollow mesoporous Titania. Diffuse Reflectance analysis showed visible...
