Interfacial Effects on the Band Edges of Ta3N5 Photoanodes in an Aqueous Environment: A Theoretical View
Summary: Ta3N5, as a fascinating photoanode for solar hydrogen production, is expected to split water without any bias, because its band edge potentials straddle H2O redox potentials. Unfortunately, Ta3N5 photoanodes can split water only when a bias of at least 0.6–0.9 V is applied. It means that th...
