Abstract
. The broadband source initiates competing photoreactions in the photocatalyst, so that carrier transfer from the catalyst surface to the solution is less efficient. The proposed hybrid photocatalyst can be integrated with a variety of device architectures and designs, which makes it highly attractive for low-cost photocatalysis applications.
