Interfacial engineering of metal-insulator-semiconductor junctions for efficient and stable photoelectrochemical water oxidation

Solar water splitting using metal–insulator–semiconductor junctions has proven efficient, but these junctions degrade very rapidly. Here, the authors engineer metal–insulator–semiconductor interfaces in which Fermi-level pinning is reduced, producing an efficient and durable photoanode for solar-dri...
