Understanding Photocharging Effects on Bismuth Vanadate ...
bismuth, lighting, oxidation, spectroscopy Abstract: Bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) is a promising material for photoelectrochemical water oxidation. Recently, it has been shown that "photocharging" BiVO₄ results in an improved water oxidation performance. However, the understanding of how BiVO₄ is being improved has been lacking.
