TL;DR: The combination of effective light scattering, improved charge separation and transportation, and an enlarged contact surface area with electrolytes due to the use of the bismuth vanadate-decorated tungsten trioxide helical nanostructures leads to the highest reported photocurrent density to date at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, to the best of the authors' knowledge.

TL;DR: The authors theoretically and experimentally investigate hydrogen peroxide production activity trends for a range of metal oxides and identify the optimal bias ranges for high Faraday efficiencies and identify that BiVO4 has the best H2O2 generation amount of those oxides.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a black phosphorene layer, inserted between the OEC and BiVO4 can improve the photoelectrochemical performance of pre-optimized OEC/BiVO4 (OEC: NiOOH, MnOx, and CoOOH) systems by 1.2∼1.6-fold, and a promising nexus between semiconductor and electrocatalyst is suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-electron water oxidation reaction (2e-WOR) is used for delocalized production of hydrogen peroxide for water cleaning and other applications.

TL;DR: A hybrid conductive distributed Bragg reflector is incorporated on the back side of the transparent conducting substrate for the front photoelectrochemical electrode, which functions as both an optical filter and a conductive counter-electrode of the rear dye-sensitized solar cell.
