title: Quantum confinement controlled photocatalytic water splitting by suspended CdSe nanocrystals.
abstract: The photocatalytic hydrogen production of CdSe nanocrystals (1.75-4.81 nm) in the presence of aqueous sodium sulphite depends exponentially on the bandgap of the particles, confirming that the material's activity is controlled by the degree of quantum confinement.
