Pt-modified Au nanorods (NRs) synthesized by anisotropic overgrowth were used for producing H-2 under visible and near-infrared light irradiation. The Pt-tipped sample exhibited much higher activity compared with fully covered samples. Using single-particle spectroscopies combined with transmission electron microscopy, we observed obvious quenching phenomena for photoluminescence and light scattering from individual Pt-tipped NRs. The analysis of energy relaxation of plasmon-generated hot electrons indicates the electron transfer from the excited Au to Pt.
