Abstract
One-dimensional semiconductor-metal heterostructures manifest improved
charge separation capability, tunable band gap and increased surface
area, and have been regarded as promising photocatalysts for
solar-to-fuel conversion through water splitting. We herein review the
synthetic strategies for the rational design and preparation of
one-dimensional semiconductor-metal heterostructures with precise
control in terms of size, shape, composition and function. Approaches
that are capable of improving the photocatalytic performance of
one-dimensional semiconductor-metal heterostructures have been proposed
and analyzed The present work is expected to give the rational design of
one-dimensional semiconductor-metal heterostructures and provide
insights into accomplishing highly efficient photocatalysis based on
such materials29 May 20231st Revision Received 29 May 2023Assigned to Editor
