Photocatalytic overall water splitting using GaN:ZnO solid solution under visible light is promoted upon coating of nanoparticulate cocatalysts (metal or metal oxides) with a chromia shell, which suppresses undesirable reverse reactions, such as photoreduction of oxygen and water formation from hydrogen and oxygen on cocatalysts by inhibiting the access of oxygen molecules.
