Nanostructured core–shell metal borides–oxides as highly efficient electrocatalysts for photoelectrochemical water oxidation

Abstract

2D CoB nanosheets and FeB nanoplates were employed as catalysts for WO3 photoanodes. The functionalized photoanodes present meaningfully improved PEC water oxidation performances, exceeding Co-Bi- and Co(OH)x-modified WO3 photoanodes.
