Photoelectrochemical water splitting with tailored TiO2/SrTiO3@g-C3N4 heterostructure nanorod in photoelectrochemical cell

Solar hydrogen production through water photosplitting in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell is one of the most desirable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly processes. However, it is still suffering from the low photoconversion efficiency. A novel tailored TiO2/SrTiO3@g-C3N4 heterostructure n...
