MoS 2 nanosheet/TiO 2 nanowire hybrid nanostructures for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activities

We report one dimensional (1D) MoS2 nanosheet/porous TiO2 nanowire hybrid nanostructures synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, leading to an enhanced specific surface area (66 m(2) g(-1)). These 1D hybrid nanostructures as co-catalysts exhibit high activity in visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an enhanced hydrogen generation rate of 16.7 mmol h(-1) g(-1).
