When light is applied to photocatalysts, electrons and holes are produced on the surface of the catalyst; hydrogen is obtained when these electrons reduce the hydrogen ions in water. As a result, it has a more efficient conversion rate for producing hydrogen than conventional nanoparticulate photocatalysts.
