Water splitting using particulate photocatalysts has attracted attention as a means of producing clean hydrogen from water and sunlight. To efficiently convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of hydrogen, it is required to develop a photocatalytic system that works under visible light, the main component of solar spectrum.
