The surface plasmon resonance of Au nanoparticle on MoS2 nanosheet is successfully measured by the electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Furthermore, Au-MoS2 composite is developed as the photoanode material in the photo­electronchemical cell (PEC) for water splitting. Compared to the pure MoS2-based P...
