Ultrathin carbon encapsulation, stibnite photosensitization and Co-Pi co-catalyst decoration were synergistically integrated to regulate spatial charge transfer for solar water splitting.
Ti1−xZrxO2−y single crystals with exposed high energy facets and defects show co-catalyst free solar water splitting and high solar energy conversion in DSSCs.
A catalyst-free and stable p-type a-SiC:H protected a-Si/a-SiGe tandem photocathode with high photovoltage is demonstrated for efficient solar water splitting.
Efficient formation of black titania photoanodes that had 2.6-fold higher solar-to-hydrogen efficiency than that of a pristine titania film was achieved by pulsed UV laser irradiation.
Ta3N5 is regarded as a promising candidate material with adequate visible light absorption and band structure for photoelectrochemical water splitting. However, the performance of Ta3N5 is severely limited by the...
