Highlights Developing a universal bulk heterojunction strategy to create oxygen vacancies by embedding laser-manufactured metal nanocrystals into the TiO2 matrix. Proposing a new mechanism based on plasmonic-induced hot electron injection and enhanced conductivity from Schottky contact-derived oxygen vacancies. Establishing several benchmark values for the performance of TiO2-based photocathodes in photoassisted lithium-ion batteries.
