The embodiments relate to visible range active, doped TiO2 nanostructures with the hot injection method in a protected atmosphere showing the enhanced photocatalytic properties in the visible region. It is the production method of TiO2 nanostructures, where obtained nanostructures can be yellow-orange in color, doped with the nitrogen as spectroscopic techniques evidenced. This is the first time observation and detection that hot injection method can be used for the geometry controlled (spherical, elongated or acicular) TiO2 nanostructures starting from a well designed titanium precursors complexed with long chain amine or carboxylic acids.

A polymer-catalyst assembly includes polarized polymeric nanofibers retaining a plurality of catalytic metallic nanoparticles. A method of making the polarized polymer-catalyst assembly may include providing a fiber mat having polymeric nanofibers retaining a plurality of catalytic metallic nanoparticles, stretching the fiber mat in a uniaxial direction, simultaneous with the step of stretching, thermally heating the fiber mat, simultaneous with the steps of stretching and thermally heating, subjecting the fiber mat to an electric field, whereby the simultaneous steps of stretching, thermally heating, and subjecting thereby form a polarized fiber mat.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an efficient entirely man-made nanobio hybrid fabricated through cell-free expression of transmembrane proton pump followed by assembly of the synthetic protein architecture with semiconductor nanoparticles for photocatalytic H.sub.2 evolution. The system produces H.sub.2 at a turnover rate of 240 ?mol of H.sub.2 (?mol protein).sup.?1 h.sup.?1 under green and 17.74 mmol of H.sub.2 (?mol protein).sup.?1 h.sup.?1 under white light at ambient conditions, in water at neutral pH with methanol as a sacrificial electron donor. Robsutness and flexibility of this approach allows for systemic manipulation at nanoparticle-bio interface toward directed evolution of energy materials and devices.
