      Nickel oxide-based catalysts currently represent the state of the art in electrochemical water oxidation in alkaline pH. However, much of their functionality remains poorly understood, particularly regarding catalytically ...
    • openAccess   Unraveling Charge Transfer in CoFe Prussian Blue Modified BiVO4 Photoanodes 

      Moss, Benjamin; Hegner, Franziska; Corby, Sacha; Selim, Shababa; Francàs Forcada, Laia; López, Núria; Gimenez, Sixto; Galan-Mascaros, Jose Ramon; Durrant, James American Chemical Society (2019)
      Catalyst modification of metal oxide photoanodes can result in markedly improved water oxidation efficiency. However, the reasons for improvement are often subtle and controversial. Upon depositing a CoFe Prussian blue ...
    • openAccess   WO3/BiVO4: impact of charge separation at the timescale of water oxidation 

      Selim, Shababa; Francàs Forcada, Laia; García-Tecedor, Miguel; Corby, Sacha; Blackman, Chris; Gimenez, Sixto; Durrant, James; Kafizas, Andreas Royal Society of Chemistry (2019-01-16)
      The four hole oxidation of water has long been considered the kinetic bottleneck for overall solar-driven water splitting, and thus requires the formation of long-lived photogenerated holes to overcome this kinetic barrier. ...
