Article Synopsis
- Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an emerging method for hydrogen production, but its efficiency is hindered by issues like carrier recombination and slow water oxidation.
- The study shows that adding a ferromagnetic coating (FeTiO) to a photoanode (BiVO) and using an external magnetic field enhances solar water oxidation performance by improving charge separation and catalytic efficiency.
- The findings suggest that this magnetic field technique can be applied to other metal oxide photoanodes, indicating a new approach to boost PEC performance in nonmagnetic semiconductor materials.
Mixed oxides with perovskite-type structure (ABO) are promising catalysts for atmospheric pollution control due to their interesting and tunable physicochemical properties. In this work, two series of BaMnO and BaFeO (x = 1 and 0.7) catalysts were synthesized using the sol-gel method adapted to aqueous medium.
