Tetrahedrally-bonded oxide semiconductors for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production

摘要

A photocatalyst for the decomposition of water is provided that includes a tetrahedrally-bonded oxide semiconductor having an energy band gap in the range of about 1.5 eV to 3.2 eV. A photoelectrochemical cell for hydrogen production and a method of producing a photocatalyst for the decomposition of water is also provided.
