These QDs formed a self-assembled monolayer on an aqueous subphase of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. Here, in this report we introduced a simple but very efficient route to form a metal (Au)-QD hybrid nanostructure via the LB technique. In this method, the metal counterpart of the hybrid nanostructure could be deposited exclusively on one side of the QDs. The formation of stable monolayer of QDs was evidenced from a surface pressure-area (P-A) isotherm. The development of gold tip was confirmed and monitored by detailed TEM study on the monolayer deposited on TEM grids from the LB trough. Other characterizations like UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS and EDX also suggested the same. Oleyl amine was shown to act both as a reducing agent as well as a capping agent in this strategy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">110</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.84</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chauhan, Meenakshi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Kiran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karthik, P.

These NSs were produced via a simple hydrothermal route and have desirable properties with a band gap of 2.24 eV, and are photo-catalytically active under visible light with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 2.48%. Under visible light, CuCo2S4 NSs exhibit excellent weight-normalized photoactivity that generates approximate to 25900 mol h(-1) H-2 for 1 g of material with sulphide + sulphite as the sacrificial agent under 7.68 mW cm(-2) illumination, which is the best evolution reported for any chalcogenide semiconductor material without any co-catalyst to date with unprecedented long-term operational stability (up to 12 h study time). The rate and number of hydrogen gas molecules produced are 8.2855 x 10(15) s(-1) cm(-2) which remained constant for three catalytic cycles with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 0.017 s(-1). The effect of Cu substitution on photoactivity was also investigated for comparative studies and it was found that CuCo2S4 NSs show superior activity to Cu0.5Co2.5S4 and Co3S4. These CuCo2S4 NSs absorb the entire visible range of the spectrum from 420 to 800 nm, and have a highly populated density of states at the Fermi level and a high donor concentration of 7.22 x 10(18) cm(-3) which have been evaluated by Mott-Schottky analysis and favourable adsorption of H+ on S-sites and conversion to H-2 corroborate their efficient photocatalytic activity.&lt;/p&gt;
