Deutsch, Todd G.

Inexpensive, earth-abundant photoabsorbers for solar water splitting have, so far, not demonstrated notable performance. Now, voltage gained from a coaxial heterojunction coupled with nanostructure-enhanced photocurrent results in Cu₂O photocathodes demonstrating benchmark water-splitting performance.
