Abstract

SnNb₂O₆ has arisen as a candidate for photoanodes for solar water splitting. CoO_x cocatalyst-loaded SnNb₂O₆ showed a stable, high anodic photocurrent with an incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 18% at 0.6 V_RHE and a half-cell solar-to-hydrogen (HC-STH) efficiency of 0.39% at 0.6 V_RHE.
