Simulations for charge transfer and photocurrent calculations using hematite for green hydrogen production

Using the split-operator method to simulate wave propagation, it is possible to calculate the hole flux to the surface in hematite OER catalysis. The flux can then be translated to photocurrent to predict the dependence of voltage on photocurrent.
