From photocorrosion to photoactivity: sulfite-gated self-etching of BiVO 4 into a black Bi–O phase
Abstract
RHE under 5-sun illumination. This work establishes photocorrosion not as a problem to be solved, but as an anion-directed engineering tool, opening a general avenue of "corrosion engineering" or designing high-performance oxide photoelectrodes.
