Revisiting the photocharging effect on the BiVO4 (010) surface by identifying the charge reaction kinetics†
Abstract
The alteration of intermediates on the (010) facet of BiVO4 leads to variations in charge accumulation numbers before overcoming the rate-determining step, which accounts for the enhanced charge transfer for oxygen evolution. This discovery provides insights into the photocharging effect and the photoelectrochemical reaction mechanism.
