A hybrid system comprising a hydrogenase and a photosensitizer co-attached to a nanoparticle serves as a rational model for fast dihydrogen (H2) production using visible light. This chapter describes a stepwise procedure for preparing TiO2nanoparticles functionalized with a hydrogenase fromDesulfomicrobium baculatum(Db[NiFeSe]-H) and a tris(bipyridyl)ruthenium photosensitizer (RuP). Upon irradiation with visible light, these particles produce H2from neutral water at room temperature in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor – a test-system for the cathodic half reaction of water splitting. In particular, we describe how a hydrogenase and a photosensitizer with desired properties, including strong adsorption on TiO2, can be selected by electrochemical methods. The catalystDb[NiFeSe]-H is selected for its high H2production activity even when H2and traces of O2are present. Adsorption ofDb[NiFeSe]-H and RuP on TiO2electrodes results in high electrochemical and photocatalytic activities that translate into nanoparticles exhibiting efficient light harvesting, charge separation, and sacrificial H2generation.
