Highly efficient hole transfer from photoanodes to oxygen evolution catalysts is crucial for solar photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Herein, we demonstrated the coupling of NiCo catalysts with carbon quantum dots...
Correction for ‘Carbon quantum dots as a visible light sensitizer to significantly increase the solar water splitting performance of bismuth vanadate photoanodes’ by Kai-Hang Ye et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2017, DOI: 10.1039/c6ee03442j.
The photothermal effect of CQDs is introduced to promote the bulk charge transport and surface oxidation kinetics of Co-Pi/CQDs/Fe2O3/TiO2 photoanodes simultaneously, resulting in a remarkably enhanced PEC water splitting performance.
