A low‐cost substitute : A titanium protection layer on silicon made it possible to use silicon under highly oxidizing conditions without oxidation of the silicon. Molybdenum sulfide was electrodeposited on the Ti‐protected n + p‐silicon electrode. This electrode was applied as a photocathode for water splitting and showed a greatly enhanced efficiency.
