Abstract
Pt-loaded TiO2 hierarchical photonic crystal photocatalysts are demonstrated to be able to double the hydrogen evolution in the photocatalytic water splitting experiment relative to nanocrystalline TiO2 due to the slow photon enhancement at the stop band edge and multiple scatterings among the photonic crystal segments.Keywords
