Abstract
A gold-ruthenium/zinc oxide nanorod composite was synthesized. The electrochemical catalytic efficiency of the noble metal-semiconductor nanostructure increased by nearly 30% under the irradiation of an external light source. It provides an efficient way of thinking for the design of electrocatalysts with a photoresponse.
