Abstract

Metal chalcogenide‐based semiconductor nanostructures are promising candidate for photocatalytic or photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation. In order to protect CdSe from photocorrosion, a layer of TiO 2 wrapped (shell) onto CdSe (core) nanocapsule via the post‐synthesis process. The morphology st...
