Multihole water oxidation catalysis on haematite photoanodes revealed by operando spectroelectrochemistry and DFT
Michael Graetzel, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Yimeng Ma
Water oxidation is the key kinetic bottleneck of photoelectrochemical devices for fuel synthesis. Despite advances in the identification of intermediates, elucidating the catalytic mechanism of this multi-redox reaction on metal-oxide photoanodes remains a ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020Elucidation of photovoltage origin and charge transport in Cu2O heterojunctions for solar energy conversion
Jingshan Luo, Matthew Thomas Mayer
Heterojunctions between p-type cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and suitable n-type layers stand out as some of the best performing and abundant oxide photoabsorbers currently available for the generation of hydrogen with photoelectrochemical cells or conversion of so ...
2019Boosting the performance of Cu2O photocathodes for unassisted solar water splitting devices
Jinhyun Kim, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Jingshan Luo, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Amita Ummadisingu, Linfeng Pan, Minkyu Son
Although large research efforts have been devoted to photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting in the past several decades, the lack of efficient, stable and Earth-abundant photoelectrodes remains a bottleneck for practical application. Here, we report a ...
