Abstract

Pt nanoparticles (NPs) are coated on the tapered nanoholes (NHs) integrated using a 20 μm-thin Si wafer. This photocathode significantly improves H₂ production via efficient light absorption and suppression of surface recombination for obtaining a high photocurrent value of 23 mA cm⁻² at 0 V vs. RHE.
