Self-assembly of a Ni(I)-photocatalyst for plain water splitting without sacrificial agents

The present work describes a self-assembling photocatalytic system that is observed when illuminating grey titania nanoparticles in suspension with a plain aqueous Ni2+ solution. Such a suspension (in contrast to white titania), under UV illumination, increasingly produces H2 from neutral water. We...
