Photoinduced semiconductor-metal transition in ultrathin troilite FeS nanosheets to trigger efficient hydrogen evolution

While earth-abundant materials are promising catalysts for renewable energy conversion, such materials tend to display poor activities. Here, authors show FeS troilite nanosheets to undergo a near-infrared light-triggered transition to a phase that displays improved H2 evolution performances.
