Enhancing photoelectrochemical water splitting by combining work function tuning and heterojunction engineering

While photoelectrodes represent a promising solar-to-fuel conversion technology, material challenges limit performances. Here, authors improve the onset potential and charge separation of bismuth vanadate photoanode water splitting performances by work function tuning and heterojunction engineering.
