A novel semiconductor–metal–graphene stack design , which reduces interfacial defect density as well as provides channels for charge transport, has been demonstrated to harness the charge flow for efficient electron–hole separation. As a direct outcome, the designed hybrid structures exhibit significantly improved performance in photocatalytic hydrogen production from water.
