Boosting charge separation and transfer by plasmon enhanced MoS2/BiVO4 p-n heterojunction composite for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting
10.1021/acssuschemeng.8b00170 2018-04-13 The poor separation and significant recombination of electron-hole pairs and slow transfer mobility of charge carriers limit the performance of BiVO4 for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. To ameliorate the above problems, a novel integrated Ag-embed... |
