The quantum-dot sensitization of a commercial TiO2 photoelectrode with maximized light harvesting capacity leads to the realization of hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation. The greatly improved performance of an electrode with light-harvesting capability suggests the proposed route is an effective strategy for electrode materials in photoconversion systems.
