“…In addition, metal phthalocyanine such as CuPc, CoPc-(NH 2 ) 4 and M II -Co III prussian blue analogues (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and ZnO) cocatalysts were synthesized and deposited on the surface of BiVO 4 for boosting the surface catalytic efficiency and enhancing photoinduced carries separation efficiency of BiVO 4 . [54,55] For example, the CuPc ultrathin layer was introduced at the interface of BiVO 4 and NiCo-LDH layer as a hole transport highway to promote the extraction and transport of photoinduced holes, which improved the PEC water splitting performance of the BiVO 4 photoanode due to inhibiting the charge recombination, [56] as shown in Figure 11(a-d activity (Figure 11f). They found that photoinduced hole accumulation was present in the CuFe PB layer, which resulted in higher charge extraction from the BiVO 4 surface.…”
