Abstract

A technique is introduced to strongly reduce Pt use for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from TiO2 nanotubes. By site selectively depositing thin layers of Pt only at the ``mouth'' of the nanotubes, and with a subsequent thermal dewetting step, an outstanding photocatalytic improvement with minimal amounts of cocatalyst is achieved.
