Catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane has drawn much attention for onboard hydrogen generation because of its high hydrogen capacity. Herein, a ternary Au-WO 2.72 /TiO 2 hybrid is synthesized for efficient photohydrolysis of ammonia borane. The Au nanoparticles (NPs) deposited were in situ-reduced by defective WO 2.72 nanowires, and 2 wt % Au-WO 2.72 is optimal to realize high photoactivity because of the high light absorption and low charge-transfer resistance, which is then combined with TiO 2 nanosheets to form a 2%Au-WO 2.72 /TiO 2 hybrid. This hybrid possesses compact interfaces among Au, WO 2.72 , and TiO 2 , and the electron pump effect of Au surface plasmon resonances and the electron capture property of TiO 2 accelerate the electron transfer from WO 2.72 to Au and then to TiO 2 , leading to the effective separation and long lifetime of photoinduced charges. Therefore, the 2%Au-WO 2.72 /TiO 2 hybrid shows very high catalytic activity under visible light with H 2 evolution rates 2.67-and 31-times higher than those for 2%Au-WO 2.72 and WO 2.72 , respectively.
