“…For instance, nanostructuring [45][46][47], surface modifiers [48][49][50], and dopant addition [51][52][53], among others, have been reported and reviewed in the literature to derive synergic approaches capable of increasing the photocurrent benchmarks closer to the theoretical values, and to accomplish the industry-required STH efficiency. Moreover, various fabrication methods have also been developed for increasing this benchmark, including pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [54,55], reactive sputtering [56][57][58], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [59,60], electrodeposition [61][62][63][64], solvothermal [65][66][67], hydrothermal [68][69][70][71][72], and sol-gel-based approaches [73][74][75][76]. From a simple search in the Scopus (Elsevier) database, displayed in Figure 2, it can be seen that hydrothermal and sol-gel synthesis is involved in ~80% of the reports, whereas others only represent ~20%.…”
