• openAccess   The Role of Underlayers and Overlayers in Thin Film BiVO4 Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting 

      García-Tecedor, Miguel; Cardenas-Morcoso, Drialys; Fernández Climent, Roser; Gimenez, Sixto Wiley (2019-08-09)
      Light‐driven water splitting with metal oxide semiconductor materials to produce H2 constitutes one of the most promising energy conversion technologies built on solar power. BiVO4 stands out as one of the most attractive ...
    • openAccess   TiO2 Nanotubes for Solar Water Splitting: Vacuum Annealing and Zr Doping Enhance Water Oxidation Kinetics 

      Shaddad, Maged; Cardenas-Morcoso, Drialys; García-Tecedor, Miguel; Fabregat-Santiago, Francisco; Bisquert, Juan; Al-Mayouf, Abdullah; Gimenez, Sixto American Chemical Society (2019-09-18)
      Herein, we report the cooperative effect of Zr doping and vacuum annealing on the carrier dynamics and interfacial kinetics of anodized TiO2 nanotubes for light-driven water oxidation. After evaluation of different Zr loads ...
    • 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. ...
