The surface plasmon resonance of Au nanoparticles (bright golden particles) on an MoS 2 nanosheet (yellow and brown sheet) is measured using electron energy‐loss spectroscopy by H. Zhang and co‐workers on page 3537. Compared to the pure MoS 2 ‐based photoelectronchemical cell (PEC), this Au‐MoS 2 composite‐based photoanode shows enhanced PEC performance in photocatalytic water splitting under the irradiation of a halogen lamp.
