TL;DR: This work demonstrates the improved stability of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) for the photoanode of solar water splitting under voltage biases by the addition of borate or carbonate ions in the aqueous electrolyte with suitable pH ranges and proposes a possible mechanism for the protective behavior of ZnO in borate and carbonate solutions.

TL;DR: The average spacing of dislocations was measured to be 1.4 nm, which correlates well with a 15% mismatch at the silicide/Si interface, with 1 2 〈110〉 Burger's vectors as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a vertically grown ZnO nanowire (NW) array of the wurzite phase was successfully fabricated on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates via a hydrothermal method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) Co was grown epitaxially on (111) Si with an intermediate Cu layer in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber at room temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, the applied bias photon-to-current efficiency was modified to circumvent the existing limitations for precisely estimating the energy transformation efficiency under valid conditions, and the authors demonstrated how to set efficiency benchmarks in photo-electrochemical measurements for solar water splitting with assistance of voltage biases.
