“…In Figure b, the WO 3 /α‐Fe 2 O 3 electrode basically shows higher photocurrent density than bare WO 3 or α‐Fe 2 O 3 . Specifically, the pure hematite electrode exhibits the onset potential of 0.86 V vs. RHE, which is comparable with reported values ,,. The combined effects of the flat band potential, surface states and activation energy of reaction lead to the lower onset potential on the single material WO 3 photoanode as compared to the bare α‐Fe 2 O 3 photoanode ( Supporting Information ).…”

“…The coating of the Fe 2 O 3 nanowire core by the pseudobrookite shell can be seen in Figure d–f, deduced from the HRTEM image in Figure b and the corresponding fast‐Fourier‐transform (FFT) spectrum in Figure c. As demonstrated in Ref. , this atomic layer can effectively suppress the charge recombination at the semiconductor junction interface, and the ITO underlayer enhances the electrical conductivity of the photoanodes, resulting in a higher photocurrent density and an enhanced fill factor. The OER performance can be promoted by using FeNiOOH nanodots (Figure b and Figure S1, Supporting Information), which were deposited on the nanowire surface by photo‐electrodeposition.…”

“…For the latter, we optimized the absorber layer sequence to reach the best photocurrent–photovoltage tradeoff upon coupling with the hematite absorber. The photoanode was composed of an indium‐doped tin oxide (ITO) underlayer with Fe 2 O 3 nanowires coated with a Fe 2 TiO 5 (pseudobrookite) atomic layer and decorated with FeNiOOH nanodots, as reported recently by Tang et al . By this integrated “one‐chip” tandem approach, we circumvent the need for a counter electrode, which is physically separated from the photoelectrode and usually composed of expensive materials .…”

“…To further evaluate charge transfer kinetics of those photoanodes, the charge transfer efficiency is induced, which can be estimated through the following equationTransfer efficiency% = kctkct + krec = RrecRct,trap + Rrecwhere k ct and k rec represent the charge transfer and trapping rate constants, respectively. Figure c displays the charge transfer efficiency obtained from PEIS data.…”
