Full-Spectrum-Responsive Au@Cu₇S₄-Decorated Monoclinic TiO₂ Nanowires for Solar Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: Developing photocatalysts that can efficiently capture light across a broad spectrum, from ultraviolet to near-infrared, is crucial for maximizing solar energy utilization. Such broad-spectrum responsiveness enhances solar energy utilization in photocatalysis, enabling a more sustainable and efficient pathway for hydrogen production. The limited availability of photocatalysts capable of responding to near-infrared irradiation underscores the urgent need for the development of versatile near-infrared-responsive photocatalysts. In this work, TiO₂ nanowires in the monoclinic phase, a less common crystallographic form of TiO₂, were synthesized, followed by a decoration with Au particles surrounded by a hollow Cu₇S₄ shell. The resulting TiO₂
