Researchers develop highly efficient organometal halide perovskite photoelectrodes for water splitting

Green Car Congress

Unfortunately, OHP-based photoanodes suffer from two undesired losses that limit their efficiency: An internal loss resulting from a recombination of photogenerated charge carriers (required for electricity generation) within the anode itself, which, in turn, hinders water splitting.
