Highly dispersed noble-metal/chromia (core/shell) nanoparticles as efficient hydrogen evolution promoters for photocatalytic overall water splitting under visible light

Highly dispersed rhodium nanoparticles (1.7 ± 0.3 nm) prepared by a liquid-phase reduction method were loaded on a solid solution of GaN and ZnO without forming aggregates, achieving improved activity for visible-light-driven overall water splitting when the nanoparticles are coated with a chromia shell.
