Abstract

A phase-mixed MgTiO₃–MgTi₂O₅ heterogeneous nanorod is fabricated via an ethylene glycol-mediated route to promote the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity significantly. The excellent charge separation and fast electron transport are the main reasons for the high efficiency due to the formation of phase-mixed heterogeneous junctions.
