Popis: An n-type GaN epitaxial thin film surface modified with a cocatalyst, Pt comb, showed photocatalytic evolution of hydrogen from water under irradiation. Direct measurement of electrochemical potentials of the n-type GaN layer and Pt comb revealed that the potentials of Pt comb were well matched with that of an n-type GaN layer, indicating that the n-type GaN-Pt interface behaved as an Ohmic contact during the reaction. However, the interface behaves as a Schottky contact in air. Newly developed in situ current-voltage (
