Cobalt(II)-Imidazoles Passivated α-Fe2O3 Photoanode for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation

Hematite photoanodes for water splitting from directed assembly of Prussian blue onto CuO–Sb2O5–SnO2 ceramics

“…8–15 In the design of photoelectrodes, a functional coating or a co-catalyst layer on the surface can increase their ability to absorb light or enhance the kinetics of surface reactions, resulting in improved efficiency in converting light into electrical energy. 16–25…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In the design of photoelectrodes, a functional coating or a co-catalyst layer on the surface can increase their ability to absorb light or enhance the kinetics of surface reactions, resulting in improved efficiency in converting light into electrical energy. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] One of the promising low-cost methods to create a functional coating on the surface of host materials is a 'directed assembly' of charged multi-layers on a host surface. 26 This approach was proposed 26 to grow redox-active multilayers of Prussian blue (PB) and Ruthenium purple on the surfaces of materials.…”
