Mechanistic insights into chemical and photochemical transformations of bismuth vanadate photoanodes

Metal oxide semiconductors are promising materials for solar energy capture but can suffer from stability problems. Here, the authors present a methodology for evaluating corrosion mechanisms and apply it to BiVO4, revealing chemical instabilities that are not predicted from thermodynamic considerat...

Sumario:Metal oxide semiconductors are promising materials for solar energy capture but can suffer from stability problems. Here, the authors present a methodology for evaluating corrosion mechanisms and apply it to BiVO4, revealing chemical instabilities that are not predicted from thermodynamic considerations alone.
