Abstract

Abstract Flat panel reactors, coated with photocatalytic materials, offer a sustainable approach for the commercial production of hydrogen (H 2 ) with zero carbon footprint. Despite this, achieving high solar‐to‐hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency with these reactors is still a significant challenge due to the low utilization efficiency of solar light and rapid charge recombination. Herein, hybrid gold nano‐islands (HGNIs) are developed on transparent glass support to improve the STH efficiency. Plasmonic HGNIs are grown on an in‐house developed active glass sheet composed of sodium aluminum phosphosilicate oxide glass (H‐glass) using the thermal dewetting method at 550 °C under an ambient atmosphere. HGNIs with various oxidation states (Au 0 , Au + , and Au − ) and multiple interfaces are obtained due to the diffusion of the elements from the glass structure, which also facilitates the lifetime of the hot electron to be ≈2.94 ps. H‐glass‐supported HGNIs demonstrate significant STH conversion efficiency of 0.6%, without any sacrificial agents, via water dissociation. This study unveils the specific role of H‐glass‐supported HGNIs in facilitating light‐driven chemical conversions, offering new avenues for the development of high‐performance photocatalysts in various chemical conversion reactions for large‐scale commercial applications.
