Loading an appropriate cocatalyst significantly enhances the activity of semiconductor photocatalysts in both conventional one-step water splitting and Z-scheme-type water splitting with a redox couple.
The attractive photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for hydrogen fuels always desires new semiconductors which provide stronger visible light absorption with suitable band positions. Sn(II) complex oxides are expected to offer...
Solid solution of LaTaON2 and BaTaO2N, i.e., La1-xBaxTaO1+yN2-y (0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1), have been investigated as visible-light-active photocatalysts for water oxidation reactions. A number of important parameters such...
The PbFeO2F serves as a bifunctional material for a water-oxidation photoanode workable under a wide range of visible light and a water-oxidation electrocatalyst operatable at a relatively low overpotential.
