We report the utilization of colloidal MoS 2 nanoparticles (NPs) for multicomponent photocatalytic water reduction systems in cooperation with a series of cyclometalated Ir(III) sensitizers. The effects of the particle size and particle dispersion of MoS 2 NPs catalyst, reaction solvent and the conc...
