The aim is to analyze the effectiveness of various co-catalysts on BiVO4 electrodes in solar water splitting.
Literature review of existing studies on BiVO4-based electrodes
Comparison of different co-catalyst modifications
Evaluation of performance metrics in solar water splitting
Modified BiVO4 electrodes show improved efficiency in hydrogen production
Certain co-catalysts lead to enhanced visible-light absorption
Optimization of band edge positions correlates with higher oxygen evolution rates
Abstract
BiVO4 has been widely investigated in water splitting ascribed to the narrow band gap with visible-light response and favorable band edge position for hydrogen reduction as well as oxygen evolution....
