Abstract

We report one dimensional (1D) MoS₂ nanosheet/porous TiO₂ nanowire hybrid nanostructures synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, leading to an enhanced specific surface area (66 m² g⁻¹). These 1D hybrid nanostructures as co-catalysts exhibit high activity in visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an enhanced hydrogen generation rate of 16.7 mmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹.
