Bridging interfacial water structure and reactivity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution at TiO₂ interfaces

Researchers have investigated the relationship between the molecular structure of interfacial water and its reactivity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The study suggests that weaker water-catalyst interactions and flexible hydrogen-bond networks enhance the efficiency of solar-to-chemical energy conversion.
