Schematic illustration of how the photogenerated electrons contribute to photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction on metal-loaded oxides. Not the free electrons in metal cocatalysts but the electrons trapped in the periphery of cocatalysts directly contribute to the photocatalysis. This discovery was achieved by synchronizing periodic excitations of photocatalysts with a Michelson interferometer on operando FT–IR spectroscopy.
