• openAccess   Electronic Effects Determine the Selectivity of Planar Au–Cu Bimetallic Thin Films for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction 

      Liu, Kai; Ma, Ming; Wu, Longfei; Valenti, Marco; Cardenas-Morcoso, Drialys; Hofmann, Jan Philipp; Bisquert, Juan; Gimenez, Sixto; Smith, Wilson A. American Chemical Society (2019-04-10)
      Au–Cu bimetallic thin films with controlled composition were fabricated by magnetron sputtering co-deposition, and their performance for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 was investigated. The uniform planar morphology ...
    • openAccess   Improving the Back Surface Field on an Amorphous Silicon Carbide Thin‐Film Photocathode for Solar Water Splitting 

      Perez-Rodriguez, Paula; Cardenas-Morcoso, Drialys; Digdaya, Ibadillah; Mangel Raventos, Andrea; Procel, Paul; Isabella, Olindo; Gimenez, Sixto; Zeman, Miro; Smith, Wilson A.; Smets, Arno H. M. Wiley-VCH Verlag (2018-06-11)
      Amorphous silicon carbide (a‐SiC:H) is a promising material for photoelectrochemical water splitting owing to its relatively small band‐gap energy and high chemical and optoelectrical stability. This work studies the ...
    • openAccess   Interfacial band-edge energetics for solar fuels production 

      Smith, Wilson A.; Sharp, Ian D.; Strandwitzd, Nicholas C.; Bisquert, Juan Royal Society of Chemistry (2015)
      Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has received growing attention as a potential pathway to replace fossil fuels and produce a clean, renewable, and sustainable source of fuel. To achieve overall water splitting ...
