Abstract

YVO₄ films, prepared on FTO substrates using a long-term hydrothermal method, possessing two-dimensional (2D) elongated polyhedral microcrystals and serving as a novel photoanode in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) field, are reported for the first time. The research indicates that YVO₄ is a potential photoanode for PEC water splitting.
