The efficiency of green hydrogen production through photo- or electrochemical splitting of water depends strongly on the catalyst used. Several 2D materials have recently been proposed as effective catalysts or cocatalysts, and among them, oxygen-terminated MXenes deserve significant attention for both electro- and photo-induced water splitting. In this work, we described a hybrid photo-electrochemical approach based on the coupling of Ti3C2Tx MXene flakes on a plasmon-supported Au grating and light triggering of the electrocatalytic activity of the generated hybrid structure in a water splitting half reaction, namely, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In particular, MXene flakes with both fluor and oxygen surface terminations were deposited on a periodic patterned gold surface that was capable of supporting surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) excitation under visible and near-infrared (NIR) light illumination.
