Abstract
A bifunctional NiMoFe/Cu NW core-shell catalyst assembled into a practical solar-driven overall water splitting system leads to an unprecedented solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 10.99% in neutral electrolytes, attributed to the synergic combination of a unique 3D self-supported core-shell architecture and rapid electron/mass transfer properties.
