Balancing electron transfer rate and driving force for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production in CdSe/CdS nanorod–NiFe hydrogenase assemblies

We describe a hybrid photocatalytic system for hydrogen production consisting of nanocrystalline CdSe/CdS dot-in-rod (DIR) structures coupled to NiFe soluble hydrogenase I (SHI) fromPyrococcus furiosus.
