Sunlight is by far the most plentiful renewable energy resource, providing Earth with enough
power to meet all of humanity's needs several hundred times over. However, it is both diffuse …

Solar driven catalysis on semiconductors to produce clean chemical fuels, such as
hydrogen, is widely considered as a promising route to mitigate environmental issues …

The research interest on bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has heightened over the past decade
due to its proven high activity for water oxidation and organic degradations under visible …

The increasing human need for clean and renewable energy has stimulated research in
artificial photosynthesis, and in particular water photoelectrolysis as a pathway to hydrogen …

Harvesting energy directly from sunlight as nature accomplishes through photosynthesis is a
very attractive and desirable way to solve the energy challenge. Many efforts have been …

We report a scalably synthesized WO3/BiVO4 core/shell nanowire photoanode in which
BiVO4 is the primary light-absorber and WO3 acts as an electron conductor. These …

Uniform thin films of hematite (α-Fe2O3) deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) coated
with varying amounts of the cobalt phosphate catalyst,“Co–Pi,” were investigated with steady …

A critical determinant of solar-driven water splitting efficiency is the kinetic profile of the O2
evolving catalyst (OEC). We now report the kinetic profiles of water splitting by a self …

A novel visible-light-active BiOCl/BiVO4 photocatalyst with ap–n heterojunction structure
was prepared using a hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic activity of the heterojunction …

A new electrodeposition condition utilizing p-benzoquinone reduction was developed to
produce BiOI electrodes composed of extremely thin 2D BiOI crystals. These electrodes …
