Influence of SnWO, SnWO, and WO Phases in Tin Tungstate Films on Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation.

An essential step toward enabling the production of renewable and cost-efficient fuels is an improved understanding of the performance of energy conversion materials. In recent years, there has been growing interest in ternary metal oxides. Particularly, α-SnWO exhibited promising properties for application to photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.

Transient Surface Photovoltage Spectroscopy of (NH)MoS/WSe Thin-Film Photocathodes for Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Evolution.

Hydrogen produced from solar energy has the potential to replace petroleum in the future. To this respect, there is a need in the abandoned and efficient materials that can continuously split water molecules using solar energy. In this report, an ammonium thiomolybdate (ATM: (NH)MoS) is evaluated as a p-type semiconductor film photocathode for hydrogen evolution reaction.
