Abstract

Efficient water vapor splitting opens a new strategy to develop scalable and corrosion-free solar-energy-harvesting systems. This study demonstrates highly efficient overall water splitting under vapor feeding using Al-doped SrTiO3 (SrTiO3:Al)-based photocatalyst decorated homogeneously with nano-membrane TiOx or TaOx thin layers (
