Abstract
We reported a plasmonic photocatalyst consisting of N-CeO<sub>2</sub> supported by N-graphene for light-driven HER, which offered a superior performance relative to N-CeO<sub>2</sub> and CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts. This could be due to the plasmonic effects of N-CeO<sub>2</sub> and excellent conductivity of N-graphene.
