Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

The researchers believe this new type of photoelectrode is not only cheap to produce, but can also be recreated on a larger scale for mass and worldwide use. The LaFeO 3 working electrode and Pt counter electrode were connected by a single looped wire, without any external bias being applied.
