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.
