Type-II WO 3 /NiOOH nanoflakes enable efficient and selective low-bias photoelectrochemical saline water-splitting reaction
Abstract
within the next two hours, maintaining its performance under highly corrosive saline water conditions. Post-photostability X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals the upshifting of the Fermi level due to the presence of the mid-gap states composed of oxygen vacancies. The heterostructure exhibits excellent efficiency and selectivity towards water oxidation in corrosive saline water conditions, which enhances the long-term durability of the photoelectrode.
