Abstract

A prototype of nature's butterfly wing architecture using Pt loaded TiO2 is provided and demonstrated to be able to enhance the hydrogen evolution rate by 2.3 times in sunlight water splitting. This is due to advantages brought about by the hierarchical architecture in both meso scope and nano scope.
