Computational insights into charge transfer across functionalized semiconductor surfaces

Abstract: A 1.23 V electrochemical difference is required as a minimum to drive PEC water-splitting, which can only be provided by a single semiconductor with an excessively large band-gap. An alternative strategy is to use two small band-gap semiconductors placed electrically in series. One semiconductor operates as the photocathode to drive H 2 -evolution while the other operates as the photoanode to drive O 2 -evolution, as shown in Figure 1. In this case, the electrochemical potential difference required to split w… Show more

“…The surface dipole moves the semiconductor bands up or down depending on its sign. Experimentally, it is known that the band energies at the photoelectrode/electrolyte junction are fixed (dashed line in Scheme ) . Hence, the surface dipole results in a concomitant change in the semiconductor band bending or barrier height …”
